Schrader House <br>426 North College Avenue (formerly Noble Street)<br>1862 <br>This unusual two-story brick house was built in 1862 by Christian F. Schrader. It possesses an urban character, as though it were intended to be a unit in a row of attached houses. Christian F. Schrader was born in Minden, Prussia and emigrated in 1849, moving directly to Indianapolis. His first job was a laborer for the J. M. & I. Railroad. He later bought a horse and dray and engaged in a successful transport business for four years. In 1864 Schrader (also listed as Schraeder) started a retail and wholesale grocery business which grew to be a large and prosperous firm. Two of Schraders sons started a wholesale grocery business in 1883 and that firm later erected the C.A. Schrader Company Building at Georgia and Maryland Streets. <br>Features include a three-bay front facade with segmented arch windows and a flat-headed entrance with cornice, transom and a single side light. The windows in the brick side walls also have segmented arches. The house has a substantial frame rear addition. The house has a large entablature with a cornice, a plain frieze and a high profile architrave. <br> -From Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987
