Indiana Landmarks - Endangered Landmarks

Endangered Landmarks

Annually, Indiana Landmarks selects the 10 Most Endangered landmarks. They may be at risk because they have been abandoned, neglected, quickly deteriorating, and or at risk of destruction from urban sprawl. When Landmarks places a structure on its list, it will spend the next year in a concerted effort to improve the structures status and rescue it from neglect. Each year the list will retain those structures still at risk, added structures that have worsened and remove those that have improved.
