INDIANA - After a $10 million rehabilitation, a 1922 Indianapolis United Methodist Church will become home to the state's preservation group. The building, vacant since 2008 but considered a gem because of its Romanesque Revival-style has been using a grant of $150,000 to stabilizd the building's foundation. The church building will be renamed, "Indiana Landmarks Center."
...the building will feature the 500-seat Cook Grand Theater in the former sanctuary, with a domed ceiling and stained glass windows; Cook Hall, a historic wood-paneled hall with a stage and balcony-level breakout rooms; and office space. Indiana Landmarks plans to move its state headquarters to the new location from 340 W. Michigan St. after it has raised the funds to renovate the office wing, built in 1922 and attached to the church.PROJECT FACTS:
