Founders' Grove, located between E Washington St and E Oakland Ave, is a historic and residential Bloomington neighborhood with tree-canopied streets and landmark Victorian homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the David Davis Mansion grounds, where walking paths and heritage landscaping set a measured, museum-district pace. Architectural details lean toward ornate porches, gables, and deep setbacks that frame the street like a curated streetscape. The David Davis Mansion anchors local history, while nearby Illinois Wesleyan University adds a steady campus energy at the edges. Sidewalks and pocket greens shape a daily rhythm built around strolling and front-porch living.

The R-1C Residence District is intended to provide primarily for the establishment of areas of higher density single-family detached dwelling units while recognizing the potential compatibility of two-family dwelling units as special uses. Densities of approximately eight dwelling units per acre are allowed. This district may be applied to newly developing areas as well as the older residential areas of the City where larger houses have been or can be converted from single-family to two-family residences to extend the economic life of these structures and allow the owners to justify the expenditures for repairs and modernization.
