James F. D. Lanier Mansion State Historic Site Master Plan

Madison, Indiana

The Master Plan was developed to update and provide for the short and long term recommendations for the Improved Accessibility and Pedestrian Circulation to ADA Standards, both to and through this historically and culturally significant State Historical Site located on the north bank of the Ohio River, in downtown Madison, Indiana. The Lanier Mansion Master Plan also provided for the exploration, evaluation and recommended solutions for additional site improvements, visual enhancements, functional and security issues, and for the overall management and maintenance of the Historic Site. The re-establishment of the historic alignment of First (High) Street, as a pedestrian corridor on the north side of the mansion, was also a priority for the plan. The plan was prepared for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Museums and Historic Sites, and the Division of Engineering.
