Bankers Row Historic District is a national historic district located at Logansport, Indiana. The district encompasses 20 contributing houses in a residential section of Logansport. It developed between about 1875 and 1925 and includes notable examples of Queen Anne and Italianate style architecture.[2] Bankers Row gains significance because it is associated with the growth and development of Logansport. The town gained commercial success in 1840 with the Wabash & Erie Canal, and then in the 1850s, when the first railroad came through town. The name "Bankers Row" was given to these homes by locals in the 1960s because of its association in the earlier part of the century, with men in the field of finance and banking.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
