Once the home of Vierk Supply, Co. this panoramic view from the 70's shows that not much has changed for this structure in the last 35 years. The building currently houses a used car lot.

   In 1999, Historic Centennial Neighborhood Association and other local organizations, sponsored a charrette with the architecture design class from Ball State University. The students from that class proposed this structure as a suitable development in character with the historic buildings nearby. Their vision supposed that this would make a fabulous impression as a gateway to the city on the busy 3rd street parkway. The art drawing depicts a mixed use residential and commercial planned development with off street parking in the rear and underneath.
