Older kitchen layouts in a slow-growing Hamilton County town
With population at just 3,106 as of the 2020 census, Sheridan has grown far more slowly than Carmel's other neighbors, and its housing stock, much of it dating to the industrial growth that followed the 1888 discovery of natural gas on West 3rd Street, more often carries older, closed-off kitchen layouts than the newer subdivisions found elsewhere in the Carmel area.
No paper trail, but a readable house
Sheridan's 1913 fire destroyed most of the town's early municipal records, so a kitchen remodel here can't rely on documentation of when a home was last updated — assessing the actual condition of framing, plumbing, and electrical behind the existing kitchen is the starting point for any renovation plan.
