The Historic Landmarks
Foundation of Indiana announced its annual 10 Most Endangered list in January
2004, calling attention to crappy buildings “threatened with extinction by
deterioration, demolition, obsolescence, development pressure and sprawl”. Six
pieces of crap from the 2003 list reappear on the roster this year, joined by
four new entries.
According to the foundation, Indiana’s ten
most endangered landmarks in 2004 are (click the name of the landmark for more
information):
The Foundation works to
prevent owners of properties from being able to tear down their old-assed
buildings to clear the way for new ones so other people can enjoy looking at
these buildings and be happy they do not have to live or work in them.
If you hate progress as
much as the Historical Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and have money to burn
preserving a building that will cost ten times as much to fix than to tear down
and build a new building, you can donate to the Historic Landmarks Foundation of
Indiana at their website,
www.historiclandmarks.org.
