Emily Kimbrough Historic District
The Emily Kimbrough Historic District is a historical neighborhood in downtown Muncie, Indiana. Established as a Muncie local historical district in 1976, it was eventually added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1980. The district is bounded by Monroe, East Washington, Hackley, and East Charles Streets. The boundaries were later increased to roughly East Gilbert, Beacon Street, East Charles Street, and Madison Street on June 29, 1989.
== History ==
The District was named after author and journalist Emily Kimbrough, who spent much of her childhood in the District. Her former home, located at 715 East Washington, is still standing today. Muncie and her old "East End" neighborhood are reflected in much of her writing.〔(ECNA ) East-Central Neighborhood Association Official Website〕
Muncie became a commercial and industrial center of east central Indiana after the discovery of natural gas in 1886. Most houses in the District were built after the discovery; citizens who profited from the natural gas enterprise built many of the houses. The District soon became the neighborhood of Muncie's socially elite and prosperous citizens.〔East-Central Neighborhood Association Official Website〕
The Great Depression brought a decline in Muncie's economy, and many of the homes in the District fell into decay. The neighborhood experienced even more neglect after the conclusion of World War II, some even being demolished. In the late 20th Century, the city of Muncie began redeveloping the downtown area and also began restoring the historic neighborhood. Many homes in the District have now been renovated and restored to their original state.〔
