Bedford Building
WABASH, Ind. – Two $100,000 Historic Renovation Grants have been awarded to Wabash Marketplace by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (“OCRA”). The grants are earmarked for roof and façade work at the Bedford (231-237 S. Wabash St.) and Bradley (5 W. Canal Street) buildings in downtown Wabash.
Tyler Karst, project manager for Marketplace:
DNR was involved in the process because it has jurisdiction over historic buildings. The buildings are part of the “Downtown Wabash Historic District,” having been named to the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1986.
Marketplace purchased the buildings last year in an effort to save them from demolition. Marketplace Executive Director, Steve Downs:
