Indiana Bicentennial Celebration 2016
Downtown Angola Archi-Tour
The downtown Angola Commercial Historic District has 44 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The town remains a vital commercial and governmental center for Steuben County. A high traffic count around the public square is evidence of the district’s marketability and sustainability as a commercial hub. Understanding the uniqueness and historical importance of the public square, the City of Angola created an historic preservation district to guide development and maintain the district’s architectural integrity. This architectural tour invites participants to discover downtown Angola’s distinctive architectural and community history.
