Indiana Landmarks bought the building from the city and announced this month it is up for sale.

The nonprofit plans to repair the 90-year-old castle-like building's white glazed brick exterior and then sell it with a preservation covenant.

The initial plan calls for about a million pages of court order books and case files to be digitally scanned to create a searchable database available to the public.

Residents of a historic downtown Indianapolis neighborhood are fighting plans for a new residential building, saying the development threatens to change their neighborhood's dynamic.

Some preservationists are trying to block the proposed construction of an office building near a small 1800s African-American cemetery just outside Indianapolis.
