Jennings Building
New Castle, IN


The Jennings Building, built in 1877, is located 1/2 block from the Henry County Courthouse. The building is currently being restored for new retail, offices, and housing.

Phase 1 - Completed
We have performed existing field measurements to accomodate the building being re-roofed and full window replacement, which stabilized the building saving it from condemnation by the City of New Castle

Phase 2 - In Progress
We performed a preliminary feasiblity study to evaluate the merits of the building relative to the possibility of developing the building into a mixed use facility for retail on the first floor, commercial on the second floor and residential on the third floor, with the possibility of providing an intimate eatery or brewery in the basement (or a combination of the first floor and basement.) We have completed the feasiblity study, and are awaiting word back from potential developers as to wheather or not they want to move forward with a project.

We are working hand-in-hand with Indiana Landmarks (formerly the Historic Landmarks of Indiana) to salvage a historic gem native to the commercial fabric of New Castle, Indiana.
