Have you ever wandered past a building and wondered how old it is? I do it all the time. Indiana is home to a lot of beautiful architecture. Personally, I’m a little surprised when I come across a building still standing that was built such a long time ago. I’ve done a little digging and I managed to find a handful of really old buildings still standing in the state of Indiana. Some of these buildings are still in use and others have been abandoned and are in the process of being reclaimed by nature. The abandoned ones may even be haunted! Either way, the fact that these old buildings in Indiana are still standing is incredible.
