Vanished Indianapolis, Lost

Uncover lost gems of Circle City history

More than two centuries removed from its founding, Indianapolis has seen its share of landmarks and landscapes pass into memory. Some have totally vanished, such as the National Road covered bridge over the White River, the Marion County courthouse , the 1835 Indiana statehouse, and the previous headquarters for the long-standing Flanner House organization. Others still exist, but not in their original location or form, like Pogue's Run, the Central Canal through downtown, and the remnants of structures at Riverside Park.

Indianapolis historian Edward Fujawa explores the history of lost sites, how they appear today, and how some are still used or repurposed.
