Estate Cleanout in Meridian-Kessler
Big Meridian-Kessler houses were built with an attic above and a basement below, and a long ownership fills both. When it’s time to downsize or settle the house, we work floor by floor and carry everything out by hand. Half a truck is $431; the full truck is $732.
Country Estates Turned Parkway Neighborhood
Meridian-Kessler runs between Meridian Street and the Monon Trail, from 38th Street up to Kessler Boulevard. In the late 1890s Meridian was lined with country estates, and one farmhouse here dates to 1832.
In 1905 landscape architect George Kessler turned Maple Road into the parkway that carries his name. The large early-1900s homes that followed are the ones families are now downsizing out of — with attics, basements and detached garages to empty.
