The north east Fortville production block: 1990s through the 2010s

There is no single recorded plat name for this section and we are not going to invent one. The Indiana statewide parcel layer confirms all seventeen street names, from Vermillion Drive and Sedalia Drive through Gallatin Way, Kenora Lane North and Diplomat Boulevard, but that layer carries no subdivision name field for Hancock County. So these are described as a street cluster rather than as one plat, which is also how residents talk about them. Era is inference from the ACS 2020-2024 distribution rather than from a parcel record: 269 Fortville housing units date from the 1990s and 475 from 2000 to 2019, and this network is the town's largest concentration of that stock.

Two story production traditional and ranch are the sourced styles. In practice that means 16 to 24 openings on the dominant two story plan, a great room that may or may not carry tall glass depending on plan size, and a breakfast area that in this era often projects as a bay. Squareness is the thing to qualify. Fifteen to thirty five years is close to square, but the earliest sections here have sat on Vernon Township clay long enough that a wide opening can be out by enough to matter. The 1990s houses get a more careful square check than the 2010s ones do, and that check is free.

What a Vermillion or Sedalia measure runs into

Depth is generous and casing is absent, which is the friendliest combination in Fortville, and it cuts both ways. A cellular headrail, a roller cassette or a shutter L-frame sits fully recessed with room to spare. But there is no trim anywhere, so an outside mount has only wall face to land on and the bracket has to reach wood framing rather than bite into a casing board. That flips the usual advice. In the 1849 plat we default to an outside mount because the trim is there and the depth is not. On Bigstone Drive we default to inside mount, and an outside mount becomes the deliberate choice for light control rather than the fallback.

The transoms are the other era signature. Half round or rectangular units over front facing windows are the Hancock County pattern for this vintage and they need a decision rather than a default. A rectangular transom takes its own small shade, and stack height at the head is the check: a shade rolled fully up still occupies inches, and on a short transom that stack can eat a third of the glass. A half round takes a fixed shutter panel cut to the curve or gets left uncovered on purpose, because an operable shade in a true arch is not a real product. Breakfast bays need a panel per facet and a plan for the corners.

What we specify in the Vermillion and Sedalia streets

Square deep openings with no trim mean this is the part of Fortville where the fussiest to mount products are genuinely available to you. The constraints shaping the order are elsewhere: transoms needing a decision, orientation changing per lot, and a count of 16 to 24 openings that makes a whole house order a real number. Fortville's median household income is $84,000 against a median home value of $254,900, an income rich and price modest combination, so the common pattern here is doing the house properly across two or three orders. National custom pricing is $250 to $2,600 per window against $60 to $600 for stock, and Indiana requires a written contract over $150 under IC 24-5-11.

The Vermillion, Sedalia and Gallatin streets in Fortville

This network sits on the north east side of Fortville between the state named grid and the county roads, reached from Fortville Pike and East 101st Street. It is the opposite of the historic core in one specific way: three eras can share a single block downtown, while here the vintage is uniform. Schools are the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation, with Fortville Elementary School, Mt. Vernon Middle School and Mt. Vernon High School, which a local guide reports as 39th in Indiana. Downtown is a short drive, where FoxGardin Family Kitchen, Toasty EMBER, Sunrise Donuts and the Pink Elephant sit within walking distance of Memorial Park. Fortville is in Vernon Township, Hancock County, not Hamilton.

Covenants across the north east Fortville streets

An association is recorded for this part of town, but there is no single covenant covering all seventeen streets, and that is the practical point. The Indiana statewide parcel layer carries no subdivision name field for Hancock County, so Vermillion Drive, Gallatin Way and Diplomat Boulevard cannot be matched to one recorded plat from the public record, and they very likely answer to more than one document. Neither an architectural review process nor a window covering rule is published for any of them. We searched Fortville for a recorded covenant on street facing covering color and found nothing, which is not proof that nothing exists. If your front elevation faces a collector street, ask your board in writing before ordering.
