Public Meeting |
• Both endangered historic buildings have been nominated to the Indiana State Register of Historic Places and both have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
• We will lose two of the three buildings deemed most historically significant by the Center Township Survey of historic architecture on our Main Street. Brookside School 54, the First German Reformed Church, and the Rivoli Theater are the only three buildings on East 10th Street rated as Notable.
• The demolition of these buildings would further break the continuity of experience that many residents in the Brookside neighborhood share. This sense of shared local history is important, especially in a challenged community struggling to recover its dignity, history, and identity.

The halls of School 54 are decorated with murals. Indiana artists represented at the school include Otto Stark and Clifton Wheeler. |
