I have recently found an article about a murder in 1869 at a house of ill-repute in Stringtown. Where was Stringtown? The article stated; "The house is situated about a half mile west of the bridge, on the north side of the Pike..."
Just curious! Thank you! Ruth Gaboury

Pike twnship is in the North-West corner of Indianapolis. The northern end of Kessler Blvd. runs into it. I am looking for information on Christopher Wachstetter of Marion Cty. Wife Jeanette Wiley. If you know anything please contact me.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Stringtown is just west of the White River south of 16th St. See http://www.polis.iupui.edu/RUC/Neighborhoods/NearWestside/NW...
For more information.

Stringtown was and still is associated with the area just west of the Indianapois Zoo

Stringtown refers to the homes literally strung out along and immediately adjoining Washington Street (the National Road) west of the White River bridge, to which the article is referring.
