Historic detailing within the building has been retained through construction, such as bullnose plaster corners, terrazzo floors, unique wood-frame windows, and painted stencil detailing in the hallways. Community Activity areas include a community atrium, a community room with a TV, a computer room with free internet access, and an exercise room with equipment. The exterior is landscaped with trees, shrubs and garden seating. Paved parking is provided on-site.
Crawfordsville, consistently rated in the Top 100 Best Small Towns in America, has been looking forward to this residential project in downtown that serves seniors and families in need of quality housing. A historical rich community, Crawfordsville features cultural trail links, parks and many other forms of recreation.
Historic Whitlock Place was funded by the National Equity Fund, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. Merchants Bank of Indiana was the construction bridge lender for the development.
