Indy's residential neighbourhoods appear more in line with the type of wood framed vernacular on spacious, larger-block, gridiron streets typical of the region.

German Village was (as the name suggests) settled by a bunch of German craftsmen in the 1830s; when they got done building churches they put the same level of work into their homes. What's interesting is how architecturally different German Village is from Ohio's more-famous German neighborhood, Over-the-Rhine:

German Village definitely feels more Teutonic than OTR does architecturally.
