Delaware Flats is a historic apartment building located at Indianapolis, Indiana. It was built in 1887, and is a three-story, ten bay wide, Classical Revival style painted brick and limestone building. The first floor has commercial storefronts with cast iron framing. The upper stories feature two-story blank arches with Corinthian order pilasters.[2]: Part 1, p. 29–30
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It is located in the Washington Street-Monument Circle Historic District.
It remains unclear who was the first owner of the building.[3] There is a local tale that the ghost of a medical assistant killed in the building in 1911 haunts the building.[4][5] Lynn B. Millikan bought the building that same year and turned it into the Hotel Barton. It was turned into a nursing home in 1966, and the Salvation Army eventually became the owner.[6]
