A 12-sided house with walls of glass built for the 1933 World's Fair as the House of Tomorrow is among the new entries on a list of Indiana's most endangered historic places.
The annual list of 10 most-endangered sites released by Indiana Landmarks includes five other new entries. The group says they're jeopardy of being destroyed.
The House of Tomorrow was moved after the World's Fair Chicago to a site along Lake Michigan in the town of Beverly Shores, but has deteriorated over the years. Town Council President Geof Benson tells the Post-Tribune he's hoping someone will take over the house.
A holdover on the list is the Taggart Memorial at Riverside Park in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Star reports volunteers are working to raise $2 million to restore the memorial.
