Captivating architecture in a tranquil southern Indiana city

Quaint Charming Affordable Architecture

The seat of Daviess County, Washington is a small city set amongst the great plains of Indiana. Surrounded by rural farmland, Washington serves as a much-need watering hole for the surrounding region. It also holds some of the oldest, most architecturally historic buildings in the state.

Bars and restaurants line NE 5th St. and East National Hwy. The surrounding streetscape is also where you’ll find the bulk of Washington’s culinary offerings, like the New White Steamer, a down home burger joint with a no-frills attitude. On the East Side of the city is the aptly named East Side Park. It encompasses a well-maintained pond and is the home of the Washington Parks & Recreation Department.

Cities like Washington are pulling in residents from larger cities thanks to their lower cost of living that doesn’t forego appealing amenities. With I-69 nearby, however, Indianapolis and Louisville are just a two-hour drive away.
