Dale House

The Dale House, an American Foursquare c. 1909 at the corner of Hart Street and Second Street in the Vincennes Historic District, has been restored with the help of Indiana Landmarks and many other preservation-minded organizations and individuals. V/KPF is excited to announce that the house sold in December 2011. The house features original woodwork, hardwood floors and staircase. Many thanks to all who contributed to this preservation effort.

Hack & Simon Building Restoration

V/KPF led the way in restoring the Hack & Simon Brewery Office Building, c. 1885, on the Vincennes University campus. Due to the public's desire to "save" this outstanding edifice, large sums of money were raised for the project. A great example of an adaptive reuse, the Knox County Development Corporation moved its offices into the building in 2008. The building was dedicated to the Bierhaus Family in 2011.

Knox County Soldiers & Sailors Civil War Monument

Originally dedicated in 1914, the Civil War Monument on the county square memorializes war and peace. Designed by C.N. Clark and Company of Urbana, Illinois, the granite monument, well over sixty feet high and topped with the color-bearer, became susceptible to weather and fell into disrepair over the years. The restoration effort, directed by Judge Tim Crowley and led by V/KPF, raised funds for over a decade and partnered with Knox County to bring the monument back to its original glory. A re-dedication ceremony celebrated the completed restoration on July 4, 2008.

Vincennes Revitalization Corridors

V/KPF works to energize and rehabilitate properties along the main corridors into the Vincennes Historic District, including Hart Street, Second Street, Main Street, and Sixth Street.  VKPF, along with many organizations and individuals, has been an advocate and resource for restoration of properties on Main Street as well as beautification projects.
