Book Description
Who doesn't love inspirational comeback stories? Indiana Landmarks: Rescued & Restored offers dramatic before-and-after photographs that show the remarkable turnaround of endangered places as diverse as the oldest house in Wabash - small and quirky - and Bush Stadium in Indianapolis, reinvented as apartments. The coffee table book features more than 50 landmarks across the state snatched from the wrecking ball or lifted from decades of neglect and restored to new uses. The magnificent West Baden Springs Hotel makes the heart soar, rising from ruinous collapse to fairy tale castle, a turnaround that lifted an entire regional economy. While color pictures tell the tales, the accompanying text gives a thumbnail history of each place and how it was rescued and restored. Proceeds from the sales of Rescued & Restored support the work of Indiana Landmarks, a 60-year-old nonprofit organization, to save and revitalize more historic Hoosier places.

Book Description
As they watched construction of the block-long flatiron building brick by brick throughout 1927, African American residents of Indianapolis could scarcely contain their pride. This new headquarters of the Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company, with its terra-cotta trimmed facade, was to be more than corporate offices and a factory for what then was one of America's most successful black businesses. In fact, it was designed as "a city within a city," with an African Art Deco theater, ballroom, restaurant, drugstore, beauty salon, beauty school, and medical offices. Generations of African American families met for Sunday dinner at the Coffee Pot, enjoyed first-run movies and live performances in the Walker Theatre, and hosted dances in the Casino. Today, this National Historic Landmark is an arts center anchoring the Indiana Avenue Cultural District.
