710 W Oakdale Dr, Fort Wayne, IN 46807

Oakdale Historic District is a charming old neighborhood nestled in the southwest corner of Fort Wayne, Indiana and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September of 2000. History stands still, just a little, when you look past all of the beautiful, mature trees and see many magnificent examples early 20th century architecture, including Craftsman, Bungalow, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, American Foursquare and even a few Cape Cod Cottages. The district’s homes were built with character and quality you simply don’t find in today’s modern homes. In the heart of it all lays the namesake of the neighborhood—Oakdale Avenue—lined with majestic, century-old Oak trees and flanked with lighted pillars built of stone masonry. During the autumn months, residents enjoy strolling down the quiet sidewalks through the bustle of leaves, once in a while feeling the slight crunch of an acorn underfoot. Neighbors enjoy greeting and conversing with each other while relaxing on their porches or patios, just like in decades past.
