Indiana Architectural Foundation announces 50 significant buildings and sites as part of new database celebrating design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people know about architecturally rich Columbus, however few know there\u2019s a church in New Harmony designed without a roof, that you can take a boat ride on an authentic aqueduct in Metamora, the only one of its kind in the US, or that Indiana is home to some rare architectural gems.<\/p>\n

Indiana has a rich architectural history, and the Indiana Architectural Foundation wants people to know about it and experience it. The Foundation today is announcing a statewide database that features some of the state\u2019s most significant architecture. It\u2019s the first database of its kind in the state, where visitors can learn more about architecture of buildings old and new and learn how Indiana\u2019s economy and culture has been shaped through design.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to showcase Indiana\u2019s architectural history,\u201d said Dan Brueggert, president of Indiana Architectural Foundation. \u201cWe hope people will not only want to learn about it, but also visit the public buildings to see just what makes them so special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The list was compiled by a team of Indiana architects and input from historic preservationists. The committee wanted to make sure that the database included structures that were architecturally significant, connected to historically significant people or events, were located throughout the state, included a variety of building types and building ages. Many of the buildings are open to the public.<\/p>\n

For example, you can tour the only saddletree factory in the US in Madison or have dinner at Tippecanoe Place in South Bend, which is a rare example of Richardsonian Romanesque-style architecture used in a residential structure. Visit Paramount Theater in Anderson and experience an atmospheric theater popular in the early 20th<\/sup> century means, or at Hilbert Circle Theater, you\u2019ll see one of the first movie palaces built in the Midwest and the oldest film theater in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
