Indiana Landmarks has released its annual list of the 10 Most Endangered landmarks throughout the state. The organization says the places on the list often face a multitude of problems, including abandonment, neglect, or owners who lack money for repairs.

This year’s list features seven new landmarks and three repeats from the 2021 list. Since its introduction in 1991, 159 sites have been included in the list, with 99 being considered completely restored or longer endangered and only 20 being demolished.

“Indiana Landmarks uses its 10 Most Endangered list in several ways. Sometimes it serves an educational role. It functions as an advocacy tool. And it can assist in raising funds needed to save a place,” Indiana Landmarks President Marsh Davis said in written remarks. “Every listing comes with significant challenges. In all cases, when an endangered place lands on our list, we commit to seeking solutions that lead to rescue and revitalization.”

This year’s list includes:

  • Birdsell Mansion, South Bend
  • Cades Mill Covered Bridge, Fountain County
  • Geter Means House, Gary
  • Hulman Building & Garage, Evansville
  • Knox County Poor Asylum, Vincennes
  • First Friends Church, Marion
  • Stinesville Commercial Buildings, Stinesville
  • Courthouse Annex Building, New Castle (repeat entry from 2021 list)
  • James M. Shields Memorial Gymnasium, Seymour (repeat entry from 2021 list)
  • Kamm and Schellinger Brewery, Mishawaka (repeat entry from 2021 list)

The three repeat entries were featured in our Endangered Indiana series, which you can view by clicking the links above.

The power of resilience and the need for Black blood donors during Sickle Cell Awareness Month

In my nearly 20-year tenure as a nurse at Riley Hospital for Children, I found myself repeatedly astonished and humbled, not only by the kids and young adults battling a monstrous adversary like sickle cell disease but more so by their enormous tenacity and resilience. Despite draining hospital stays and distressing procedures, these young ones always shone bright, their resilient spirits undeniably inspiring....
