Auburn buildings honored for historic preservation efforts
AUBURN â The Eckhart Public Library and the Auburn City Steakhouse have received Outreach Awards for historic preservation.
ARCH Inc., a historic preservation non-profit in Fort Wayne, has been presenting historic preservation awards for 42 years, but in 2020 the awards include something new.
The inaugural Outreach ARCHie Awards this year make a specific effort to recognize the top historic preservation projects regionally. Traditionally, the ARCHie Awards have focused on Allen County, where ARCH was founded in 1975 and where much of its work has been focused. But as ARCH has grown, it has come to serve all of northeast Indiana.

Parkview Health Network, Lutheran Health Network and other area hospitals announced their plans to begin their vaccination programs for COVID-19 as soon as the first version receives FDA emergency authorization authorization.
On Wednesday, the Indiana State Department of Health again confirmed that Parkview Health would be among the first five hospitals in Indiana to receive the Pfizer vaccine, which must be stored at super-cold temperatures.
The vaccine news is welcome amid continued rising evidence of community spread of the illness, which is infecting Hoosiers at an increasing rate.
In northeast Indiana, there were nine new deaths reported outside of Allen County from COVID-19 on Wednesday. Allen County reported 16 new deaths, but attributed the sharp increase in number to a lag in reporting over recent days.
