What a room additions project looks like here

Crown Hill Cemetery (established 1863, 555 acres) is the largest non-government cemetery in the U.S. and is itself a National Register listed historic site.

Properties along Crown Hill Drive carry historic-cemetery boundary setback rules — fence height, lighting, and screening are restricted on cemetery-facing lots.

Surrounding housing is primarily 1900-1940 Foursquare and bungalow — DBNS permits route fast on standard residential alterations outside the cemetery boundary zone.

Indianapolis additions — rear, side, and second-story pop-ups — Marion County Code Enforcement + IRC 2018 + Indiana PLA permits + setback / height / FAR compliance + neighbor-notification. In Crown Hill Area specifically, 1900-1940 american foursquare stock means room additions scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Indianapolis scoping flow factors crown hill cemetery (1863) and indianapolis adu pilot 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.
