⚠️ Today, Indiana Landmarks announces our annual 10 Most Endangered list, highly threatened Hoosier places that are too important to lose.
The list includes a nineteenth-century grist mill; a former African American Knights of Pythias lodge; the home of a national leader in women’s suffrage; a church designed by one of the state’s most important architects; a towering firehouse; a historic scout camp; a museum village; a Modernist civic building; an architecturally distinguished home; and a popular high school fieldhouse.
Places that land on the 10 Most Endangered list often face a combination of problems rather than a single threat—abandonment, neglect, dilapidation, obsolete use, development pressure, or owners who simply lack money for repairs.
“Indiana Landmarks’ 10 Most Endangered list is a catalyst for action,” says Brad Ward, president of the nonprofit preservation organization. “The designation raises public awareness about threatened historic places, strengthens preservation advocacy, and helps generate resources to save them. Each endangered place tells a unique story, and each faces its own set of challenges. In all cases, when an endangered place lands on our list, we commit to seeking solutions that lead to rescue and revitalization,” he adds.
