What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here
Woodruff Place was platted 1872 by James O. Woodruff as Indianapolis first planned residential community and remained an independent town until 1962 — its three central boulevards with cast-iron fountains and statuary are themselves IHPC-contributing features.
Because the boulevards (East Drive, Middle Drive, West Drive) are part of the IHPC designation, any work that touches the parkways — fences, plantings, lighting — requires IHPC sign-off.
Woodruff Place mansions frequently retain original 1872-1900 cast-iron porch railings, slate roofs, and stained-glass windows — IHPC review is unusually granular about preserving these elements.

In Woodruff Place specifically, 1872-1900 italianate stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
