Landmarks Through the Viewfinder

50 Years of Preservation in Southern Indiana

July 23-August 21, 2010
Opening Reception Friday July 23, 6-8 pm

The Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana, is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibit, Landmarks Through the Viewfinder: 50 Years of Preservation in Southern Indiana, on display July 23 through August 21, 2010. To celebrate Indiana Landmarks' 50th anniversary in 2010, the organization's Southern Regional Office in Jeffersonville created a traveling exhibit of photographs depicting historic structures in Southern Indiana. Landmarks Through the Viewfinder features photographs of landmarks in Clark, Crawford, Dearborn, Dubois, Floyd, Gibson, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Orange, Posey, Ripley, Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Washington counties, and New Albany architectural remnants including the Scribner Park Fireman, a stone finial from the post office, parts of the original steeples from St. Mary’s and St. Marks Churches, and marble flooring from the Floyd County Courthouse. Of special interest to local visitors may be the photographs of nearby subjects: the Colgate Clock and the Howard Steamboat Mansion, both in Jeffersonville, IN; Culbertson Mansion in New Albany, IN; Polly’s Freeze in Georgetown, IN; and the Big Four Bridge connecting Jeffersonville and Louisville, KY.

The exhibit photo of Polly's included in the post is by Karen Leist Bassett. I left space for the credit and then forgot to add it before publishing.

Sorry about that.

I am obligated by blood oath to note that Polly's Freeze is in Maplewood, Indiana, and not Georgetown or Edwardsville.

Thanks for the credit, Jeff :)

IIRC, when I submitted the photo, I listed it as Floyd County because they were asking for county and not city. I'm not entirely sure why Polly's is being listed as Georgetown (I would know better!)
