From The Indianapolis Star, Friday, December 5, 1924: After considerable change from the original route, the board of park commissioners adopted plans for the construction of Kessler Boulevard from Illinois St east to Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The 100-foot-wide driveway begins at the Crow’s Nest bridge west of White River and goes east across the land of Dr. Homer H. Wheeler, following 59th St across the canal and Westfield Blvd to Keystone Av. The route proceeds through the estate of William H. Roberts, across the lands of Silas Johnson, southeast to Millersville Rd, across Fall Creek, and east along 56th St to the fort. Originally, the east section of Kessler Blvd was to run over 56th St from Meridian St to Ft. Harrison, but much of the area had been built up and would be too costly to acquire the land.
