ALLEN COUNTY Coleman-Doctor Farm Fort Wayne, 1845-1967 Architecture and Agriculture Listed on March 6, 2019

The Coleman-Doctor Farm includes four structures and has remarkably remained within the Coleman-Doctor family for seven generations. The farm was developed by Nathan Coleman, one of Allen County’s earliest settlers. The four structures associated with the Coleman-Doctor Farm include a c. 1845 Federal style I-house/Continental plan house, a c. 1881 Schweitzer Barn, a c. 1914 American Foursquare, and a c. 1940 garage. The four buildings are mostly clustered together and surrounded by farmland that is still in use as agricultural fields. Although several of the structures associated with the property’s agrarian past have been relocated or demolished in the last forty years, the four that remain convey the significance of Indiana’s Golden Age of agricultural heritage. The property has operated as a wedding venue since 2013. The farmstead demonstrates the evolution of a 19th and 20th century family farm in Indiana.

BROWN COUNTY Story Historic District Story, 1858-1940 Exploration and Settlement, Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture Listed on March 11, 2019

Story Historic District is an unincorporated rural village at the intersection of State Highway 135 and Elkinsville Road. During the early 1850s, Dr. George P. Story and his family settled on 173 acres which encompassed the current 15 acres that comprise the historic district. Family farms, the doctor’s medical practice, a township school and a grist mill were established over the following ten to fifteen years, prompting local reference to the area as Storyville. Formal creation of the village of Story occurred in 1882, when Dr. Arnold S. Griffitt continued operation of the medical practice and farming operations, and established a dry goods store that housed the first post office. During the 1890s, the small subsistence businesses became more established, homes were constructed on smaller parcels, and the village increasingly became a communal center for the surrounding rural community. Growth of the general store during the early part of the 20th century coupled with decreasing commerce and populations at similar Van Buren Township villages, established Story as a significant commercial center for the surrounding area. The district represents the founding, development and growth of a typical unincorporated rural Indiana village, as well as the development and growth of small subsistence businesses associated with a rural village.

CLARK COUNTY Indiana State Prison South- Indiana Reformatory- Colgate-Palmolive Historic District Clarksville, 1882-1960 Social History, Health and Medicine, Politics and Government, Industry, and Architecture Listed on March 13, 2019

The district was developed as the second home of the Indiana State Prison, in operation from 1847 until its conversion into the Indiana Reformatory in 1897. The Reformatory occupied the site until 1924, when the buildings were remodeled into a regional factory for Colgate & Company, later known as the Colgate-Palmolive Company. Colgate-Palmolive occupied the site from 1924 until 2008. The Indiana State Prison South / Indiana Reformatory / Colgate-Palmolive Historic District is significant for its contribution to social history during part of its period as a state prison and reformatory, for its significance in the areas of health, medicine, and government as a part of the national eugenics movement, when it served as a national center for the display, dissemination, and promotion of eugenic programs and policy, and for its contribution to commercial and industrial history during its ownership by the Colgate-Palmolive Company. The district is also important for the distinctive architecture and integrity of its resources.

HAMILTON COUNTY Plum Prairie Residential Historic District Noblesville, c.1875-1948 Architecture and Ethnic Heritage/Black Listed on March 13, 2019 The Plum Prairie Residential Historic District contains mostly smaller-scaled worker housing with the majority of its houses built between about 1890 and 1925 for nearby industry. By the early 20th century, the neighborhood became home to a large African-American population that shaped its history in the following decades. The district also contains one massive Italianate home, a small historic church, and two small neighborhood commercial buildings. While the district contains a very few examples of styles popular during its development including Italianate, Queen Anne, and Craftsman/Bungalow, the vast majority of the houses are simple vernacular examples of residential architecture using a handful of building plans. A building boom created by the need for working class housing by the 1890s resulted in the construction of most homes in the district until about 1925. The Plum Prairie Residential Historic District is a cohesive collection of vernacular housing in the southwestern part of the city of Noblesville. The scale, types, and styles of the area’s historic residences reflect the overall development of working class housing in Noblesville. The district includes working man’s cottages from a wide variety of housing traditions that were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. All shared a simplicity of form that builders could embellish with lumberyard-bought millwork. The district is also important for its association with the rise of industry at the end of the 20th century, and the need to develop worker-scale housing, as well as

the district’s historic relationship with a large African-American population whose most visible landmark is the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Westfield Historic District Westfield, c. 1850-1968 Architecture and Commerce Listed on January 31, 2019

The Westfield Historic District is composed almost equally of residential dwellings and commercial buildings. Westfield’s roots are part of a vast migration of abolitionist Quakers from North Carolina. The town developed into a crossroads community that profited from and served the surrounding farms in Hamilton County. The small commercial center of the district includes a few 19th century buildings typical of Midwestern towns. At the late end of the period of significance, commercial buildings were constructed that also related to travel and the automobile industry. The small community has simple, mostly vernacular examples of residential and commercial architecture of

the period; a few of these include features of styles popular during the historic period. A few buildings have more refined stylistic features for an overall composition of styles popular during the period. MARION COUNTY Architect and Builders Building Indianapolis, 1912-1974 Architecture and Commerce Listed on March 7, 2019 The Architects and Builders Building is a ten-story Art Deco building located in downtown Indianapolis. Designed and owned by Indianapolis architectural firm, Rubush & Hunter, the building occupies a corner lot at the southeast corner of Pennsylvania and Vermont Streets. Originally constructed in 1912 as a three-story office building, its exterior cladding was removed in 1929 and seven floors were added. The new exterior sheathing was constructed in limestone with distinctive Art Deco relief carvings. Although historically an office building, it was rehabilitated in 2014 and converted to residential use on floors two through ten. The first floor is used as office space and retains its very elaborate lobby area with ornate metal work and inlaid marble features. The Architects and Builders Building is both historically and architecturally significant. It became the center of Indianapolis’ architectural and building community for over 40 years. During that time, it housed many of the most prominent architectural firms’ offices and their related trade associations, including the local chapter of the Architects’ Small House Service Bureau. Although it was designed by the prolific Indianapolis architecture firm of Rubush & Hunter in both building campaigns, the 1929 iteration is one of their first major forays into the Art Deco design aesthetic and would be the precursor to some of their best Art Deco accomplishments in Indianapolis.

NOBLE COUNTY Brimfield School No. 2 Brimfield vicinity, 1921-1940 Architecture and Education Indiana’s Public Common and High Schools, 1816-1945 Listed on March 11, 2019 The Brimfield School No. 2 is a brick 20th-century functional one-story school building with Craftsman-detailing that sits on a raised brick basement with a cross-shaped plan. All four wings of the building have hipped roofs. Most of the glazing and doors are missing from the building. Deep eaves shelter a wide decorated wood frieze that surrounds the entire building. A small pyramidal bell tower sits on the ridge of the front wing. The upper floor of the school has three classrooms, restrooms and two cloakrooms. The basement houses a multi-purpose gymnasium/auditorium, restrooms and mechanical rooms. In 2012, the roof and wood soffits were replaced and the original wood frieze, trim work and window frames were repainted. The school is a significant example of changing education trends in the state of Indiana. The school’s multi-room design and inclusion of a gymnasium/auditorium are indicative of the importance of education and recreation in the small Brimfield community. The building is also architecturally significant as an example of institutional design by the regionally-prominent architect, Charles R. Weatherhogg. PARKE COUNTY Turkey Run State Park Marshall, 1917-1964 Entertainment and Recreation and Architecture New Deal Resources in Indiana State Parks Listed on March 14, 2019 The Turkey Run State Park Historic District lies within the boundaries of a state park and has recreation-related resources and early rural resources that were either extant in the area when the park was established or were moved into the park in the early years after its establishment. The types of resources include trails constructed for hiking, park roads, old log cabins, Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.) constructed shelters and restroom facilities, a large inn, a coal mine and home of the early settler of this land, among others. Turkey Run State Park is significant for close association with the development of Indiana’s state park system. It is a prime example of the kind of complete experience that the framers of the state park system sought: both cultural and outdoor recreational resources in a natural but carefully managed environment. In 1916, the Centennial Memorial Commission, including Richard Lieber, Juliet Strauss and others, formed and raised $20,000 to purchase the pristine land that would become Turkey Run State Park after owner John Lusk’s death. The commission lost the bid for the property to a veneer company which won it for $30,200. It appears that in late 1916, an agreement with the lumber company was reached, so that state park operations could begin. The following year, the 1917 state legislature appropriated $20,000 for the purchase and the state bought the land from the Hoosier Veneer Company for $40,200. Work began immediately on trails and construction continued with regularity throughout the history of the park. Starting in 1935, Civilian Conservation Corps workers made a number of additions and changes in the park with several new shelters and infrastructure improvements to help manage the landscape. The park is important for its many noteworthy

examples of park architecture. The efforts of the Indiana Department of Conservation and C.C.C. architects and engineers in Turkey Run embodied the Parks Rustic style, as seen in the use of roughly dressed local stone; rough, stained wooden siding; and an overall simplicity of design. The Inn, designed by Bishop, Knowlton, and Carson in 1919, helped establish this vernacular trend. Following World War II, the park added more buildings and made more changes, including an ongoing addition of acreage.

PUTNAM COUNTY Bainbridge Historic District Bainbridge, 1860-1965 Commerce, Transportation, and Architecture Listed on March 14, 2019 The Bainbridge Historic District encompasses commercial and residential buildings along Washington and Main Streets. The buildings reflect the development of the small town during the period of significance, 1860-1965, and illustrate the development of the town along a historic road that became a State and then Federal highway. The town became the township’s primary commercial center. It has a locally significant business crossroads with brick, stone, and concrete block shops that catered to townsfolk and farmers from the area. Commercial activity fostered the growth of the town during the period of significance, 1860-1965. The Town of Bainbridge was laid out around one of the earliest east-west roads in northern Putnam County. The route eventually became a state road, then part of the national highway system, first as the Ocean to Ocean Highway and then as U. S. 36. Bainbridge’s significance related architecture, rests in the number of intact houses and commercial structures that illustrated the growth and development of a small town over time. The diversity of types and styles in the district includes1870s Italianate to 1960s Modern. Russellville Historic District Russellville, 1828-1961 Exploration and Settlement, Commerce, Transportation and Architecture Listed on March 14, 2019 The Russellville Historic District encompasses the site of the town, laid out between 1828 and 1911 and includes the commercial and residential areas of town. The district maintains much of its historic integrity through the layout, number of intact structures and materials. The extant features reflect the architectural styles and effects of settlement, transportation and commerce during the period of significance, 1828-1961. The Russellville Historic District displays the exploration and settlement of a small village that changed shape to accommodate access to the railroad. As the town center moved south, its commercial district grew to supply

the needs of visitors and the growing town. Historic metal canopies and cast iron storefronts, at least one by Mesker & Co., give the commercial area a cohesive feeling. Transportation, the railroad and subsequently automobiles, shaped the layout of the town. Russellville retains its modest railroad depot, filling stations and other auto-related buildings that relate to the transportation history of the town. The district has architecturally significant buildings that demonstrate the building customs of a small town throughout the period of significance. These range from a brick, Greek Revival I-House, to modest frame cottages, and to the Modern-style Post Office. RIPLEY COUNTY Busching Covered Bridge Versailles vicinity, 1885-1930 Engineering and Transportation Listed on March 13, 2019 The Busching Covered Bridge has a clear span of 170 feet over Laughery Creek near the entrance to Versailles State Park. The single span Howe Truss was constructed atop cut-stone abutments in 1885 by Thomas Hardman. The bridge has board-and-batten siding and a metal roof. Traffic was rerouted from the bridge to modern U.S. 50 in 1930, however, the bridge still carries vehicular traffic from East County Road 25 S into Versailles. The bridge was restored in 2005. Busching Covered Bridge, 1885, is a fine example of a wooden truss bridge, one of two still extant in the county. The bridge, which connected Versailles to the Ohio River port of Aurora, embodies the importance bridges served to the early development of transportation networks connecting larger communities to each other for transport of goods, trade, and to a lesser extent with the Busching Bridge, settlement. The bridge represents the development of the Howe truss in wood form prior to the use of steel or concrete for bridge construction. The relative rarity of surviving examples of covered bridges further establishes the significance of the Busching Bridge. Friendship Stone Arch Bridge Friendship vicinity, 1909-1968 Engineering and Transportation Listed on March 11, 2019 The Friendship Stone Arch Bridge carries Olean Road over Raccoon Creek approximately one-half mile west of Friendship, Indiana. The approximately 100 feet long bridge is constructed with four arches, each about 14 feet tall, composed of limestone. The bridge has side walls and retaining walls of varying lengths that stretch out from the bridge on each side of the road. One of Ripley County’s eleven true-masonry arch bridges, Friendship Bridge is one of the largest examples of the group. Its Laurel limestone arches have carried local traffic since 1909. The bridge embodies the importance bridges served to the early development of transportation networks in rural areas for the transport of goods with trade and shipping centers. The bridge represents the development of stone arches for transportation assets prior to the use of concrete for bridge construction. The relative scale of the bridge given its type of construction further establishes the significance of the Friendship Stone Arch Bridge.

Otter Creek Covered Bridge Holton vicinity, 1884-1968 Engineering and Transportation Listed on March 13, 2019

The Otter Creek Covered Bridge has a clear span of about 113 feet over Otter Creek. The single span Howe Truss was constructed atop cut-stone abutments in 1884 by Thomas Hardman. The bridge has vertical plank siding and a metal roof. Traffic was rerouted from the bridge to a new alignment of North County Road 850 W that crosses a new bridge north of the old bridge in 1996, however, the bridge is still accessible to pedestrians. The Otter Creek Covered Bridge is an intact example of Howe Truss bridge technology that served local transportation needs. The bridge embodies the importance bridges served to the early development of transportation

networks in rural areas for the transport of goods with trade and shipping centers. The bridge represents the development of the Howe Truss in wood form, with metal tensioning components, prior to the use of steel or concrete for bridge construction. The relative rarity of surviving examples of covered bridges further establishes the significance of the Otter Creek Bridge. SULLIVAN COUNTY Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library Merom, 1918-1967 Architecture and Education Listed on March 11, 2019 The Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library sits in a small residential neighborhood about a quarter mile east of the Wabash River and Illinois state line. Constructed in 1918 from funds donated by Andrew Carnegie, the Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library is a one-story, hip roofed, five-bay, three-pile deep rectangular massed brick structure set on a partially raised basement. Due to its high level of integrity and the existence of many original furnishings, the library is an exceptional example of a restrained Classical Revival style civic building. It is also a significant representation of a Carnegie Library designed in reference to the “type A” template from James Bertram’s 1911 memorandum, Notes on the Erection of Bildings. As this memorandum was written after three-quarters of all Carnegie libraries were built, Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library is a relatively rare design from the Post-“Notes” era. The Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library is an outstanding example of a civic building in a restrained Neoclassical Revival style of architecture. It is also a significant representation of a Carnegie Library designed in reference to the “type A” template from James Bertram’s 1911 memorandum, Notes on the Erection of Bildings. As this memorandum was written after three-quarters of all Carnegie libraries were built, Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library is a relatively rare design from the “Post-Notes” era. The Merom-Gill Township Carnegie Library is also representative of an important 19th century movement in which communities across the United States sought to establish libraries for the education of its citizenry. Lastly, with much of its original architectural features and furnishings intact, the building retains a remarkably high degree of historic integrity.

VIGO COUNTY Miller-Parrott Baking Company Building Terre Haute, 1914-1957 Architecture and Industry Listed on March 11, 2019 The Miller-Parrott Baking Company Building is a large, five-story, industrial building that was constructed with a concrete structural frame and brick in 1914 with rear additions of matching materials constructed in 1918. While a fire in 2016 caused the back portion of the building to be removed in early 2017, the historic 1914 section and some of the later addition remain. The most striking features are the building’s simple, but massive proportions, its Classical Revival entry and entablature, and the large two-story glazed brick-clad ovens in the upper stories. The Miller-Parrott Baking Company Building is an example of early 20th century industrialization of food processing, in this case the large-scale manufacture and distribution of breads and crackers. The building is also important for its architectural significance as a large example of an industrial building constructed with a concrete frame, with simple features of classical architecture. The fourth floor of the building, with its large ovens and other features related to the baking industry of the early 20th century, most demonstrate the significance of the building with regard to industry, while the overall proportions, scale, and classical entry and cornice most demonstrates the significance of the building with regard to its architecture.
