What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here

The Mile Square is the original 1821 Alexander Ralston plat for Indianapolis — a literal one-square-mile grid centered on Monument Circle, and the bones of the modern city core.

Many Mile Square condo conversions sit inside 1860-1900 Italianate commercial blocks where original cast-iron storefronts remain — DBNS exterior alteration permits require matching the original cornice profile.

Because Mile Square overlaps both the Wholesale District and Lockerbie Square historic districts, an exterior project may need both Regional Center and IHPC review depending on street frontage.

Indianapolis kitchens — galley to open-plan conversions, MEP relocations, custom cabinetry — scoped against Marion County Code Enforcement + IRC 2018 + Indiana PLA on permitted layouts. In Mile Square specifically, 1860-1900 italianate commercial blocks stock means kitchen remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Indianapolis scoping flow factors mile square and regional center design guidelines on streetscape-facing facades into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
