Stewards of Historic Architecture Since 1999
We acquire, restore, and steward historic properties across New England—from early Federal-era buildings through the 1930s, with particular expertise in the rich architectural heritage of 1880–1920.
01 — Our Philosophy
Every property we touch tells a story—of the artisans who carved its millwork, the families who gathered within its parlors, and the communities that rose around its foundation.
To us, these aren't just acquisitions; they are legacies. We embrace the role of stewards, meticulously preserving the irreplaceable character of the past while thoughtfully adapting each space for a modern life.
Beyond restoration, we document history and invest in the enduring spirit of the neighborhoods these buildings have anchored for over a century.
02 — Our Commitment
We approach every acquisition with reverence for history and responsibility to community. These principles guide every decision we make.
We prioritize maintaining original architectural elements, materials, and craftsmanship over modernization that erases history.
We acquire properties with the intention of holding them indefinitely—measuring success in decades, not quarterly returns.
We invest in the neighborhoods surrounding our properties, supporting local preservation efforts and economic vitality.
03 — Properties We Seek
We are active seekers of historic landmarks across New England, with a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship of the Federal period through the early 1900s. We have a particular affinity for the character-rich buildings of 1880–1920, yet our doors are always open to conversations about any property defined by architectural significance and historical weight.
From Federal and Greek Revival through Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman—homes with original architectural details and period character.

c. 1800–1930s04 — Our Approach
We follow a deliberate process that honors the trust placed in us by sellers, municipalities, and the communities these buildings serve.
We study the property's history, architectural significance, and role in the community before making any offer.
We work with sellers who share our values, ensuring smooth transitions that honor the property's legacy.
We engage skilled craftspeople who specialize in period-appropriate techniques and materials.
We maintain properties with the same care and attention as their original builders intended.
"When we decided to sell our family's 1895 property, we weren't just selling a building—we were entrusting four generations of memories. Indigo Properties understood that. They've preserved everything that made it special while giving it new purpose."
05 — Begin a Conversation
We welcome conversations with property owners, municipalities, and preservation organizations about buildings that deserve thoughtful stewardship. Whether you're ready to sell or simply exploring options, we're here to listen.
