ANGOLA — The Orton Farmstead property at 1025 N. C.R. 200W that was slated for demolition for a roundabout project might not meet that fate as it was discovered the
ANGOLA â The Angola Historic Preservation Commission has decided to write to the Indiana Department of Transportation requesting it be given time to photograph and document a Pleasant Township farmstead before it is bulldozed to make room for a traffic circle.
The Commission on Tuesday voted to respond to a letter it received from the state agency about a property at 1025 N. C.R. 200W that is slated for potential demolition as part of an upcoming intersection improvement project.
The letter, which was in response to a request for a review of the site to determine if it had historic potential, claimed the 9-acre property, which contains a house and three outbuildings, does not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and is therefore not worth preserving.
