Older roofs in a slow-growing Monon rail 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, carries older roof systems than the fast-growing subdivisions elsewhere in the Carmel area.
No records, but the same regional storm risk
Sheridan's 1913 fire destroyed the town hall and most of its early municipal records, so there's often no documentation of when an older Sheridan roof was last replaced — all the more reason for a physical inspection after any of the severe wind or hail events that regularly move through central Indiana.
