Indiana Limestone Company Building, Neoclassical limestone office building in Bedford, United States
The Indiana Limestone Company Building is a two-story, L-shaped limestone building on a raised basement at Bedford, Indiana. Built in Classical Revival style, it has a limestone facade and was constructed to house offices and a showroom.
The building was constructed in 1927 as the headquarters and display showroom for the Indiana Limestone Company. It was later transformed into a branch campus for Oakland City University.
The building carries the name of the Indiana Limestone Company, founded in 1926, and served as the firm's offices and showroom. Its Classical Revival detailing in limestone advertised the material the company sold. Since then it has been known as the Bedford College Center Building and now houses the Bedford branch of Oakland City University.
The building is located in downtown Bedford and is easily accessible to visitors. Keep in mind that modern windows define the exterior, while the interior maintains classic stone elements and period details.
The building's L-shaped plan and raised basement were designed so the company's showroom could display Indiana Limestone to buyers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, and since then it has housed the Bedford branch of Oakland City University.
