Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission (IHPC) is responsible for preserving historic areas and structures in Marion County.[1][2] They take care of the exterior of a historic landmark, such as ensuring walls, light fixtures, roofing etc. are stable and appropriate. Citizens of Indianapolis can apply to have the commission review and fix historic structures through applying for a Certificate of Appropriateness. The commission was established in 1967.

The commission has a collection in the IU Indianapolis library to digitize images of what they consider to be historically significant areas.[3]
