What a bathroom remodeling project looks like here

Butler-Tarkington is named for Butler University (founded 1855) and author Booth Tarkington — its 1910-1940 Tudor and Colonial Revival stock includes some of Indianapolis most architecturally consistent residential blocks.

Crown Hill Cemetery (the largest non-government cemetery in the U.S.) borders the neighborhood on the west — properties along Crown Hill Drive carry historic-cemetery boundary setback rules.

Butler University campus expansion drives a master-plan setback rule for properties on the north edge of the neighborhood — additions there sometimes require campus coordination on top of DBNS permit.

Indianapolis bathrooms — primary suite expansion, walk-in shower conversions, accessible-design ADA paths — Marion County Code Enforcement + IRC 2018 + Indiana PLA permitted on layout change. In Butler-Tarkington specifically, 1910-1940 tudor revival stock means bathroom remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

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.
