INDIANA — Indiana Landmarks recently singled out five owners to receive its Central Indiana Preservation Awards recognizing high-quality restoration and preservation in central Indiana.
Wes and Gillian Lackey won the Angie’s List Old House Rehabilitation Award, sponsored by Angie’s List, for the restoration of the 1892 Ingram-Kothe House at 1437 N. Park Avenue in Indianapolis’s Old Northside.
Russell Pulliam received the Continued Use Award for the 1903 Frank Littleton Round Barn, still serving its original purpose in rural Hancock County. Pulliam owns the property, but a copy of the award went to the Gary Kingen Family, residents and stewards of the farm and barn since 1906.
Core Redevelopment won an Adaptive Use Award for its creative transformation of a historic baseball venue into Stadium Lofts. Bush Stadium, built in 1931 at 1501 W. 16th Street in Indianapolis, suffered decades of neglect before Core Redevelopment repurposed it as apartments. The $24 million project opened in 2013 with 138 market-rate apartments.
The Indiana National Guard also won an Adaptive Use Award for repurposing the historic Stout Field Administration Building and Tower as Class A office space. The Art Deco building on the west side of Indianapolis serves as the guard’s headquarters. The Guard invested $4.8 million to rehabilitate the 36,000 square foot building, meeting stringent Anti-Terrorism Force Protection Standards.
The General Services Administration received the Marion County Outstanding Restoration Award for the $66 million rehabilitation of the 1905 Birch Bayh U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building.
The Department of the Army also received an Outstanding Restoration Award for its rehabilitation of the historic bridges at Camp Atterbury in Johnson and Bartholomew counties.
The awards were presented on May 29 during an Indiana Landmarks program in Indianapolis.
