Rapp Granary
Hafer Associates’ project scope to restore this historic building included archeological documentation of the historic site, the historic restoration of original intact elements and reconstruction of the remainder in order to recreate the original building. Dating back to the Harmonist period, the city of New Harmony’s rich history, the building was in total disrepair and was in danger of being lost. Through strategies in adaptive reuse, the Granary stands as a marker of New Harmony’s history while functioning as a modern conference center that is utilized by the larger community. Visitors to the building are introduced to the history of New Harmony through displays and artifacts from the early settlement.
