The Zionsville Historical Society authorized the Century Structure program to designate, recognize and honor our town’s historic structures. Both residential and commercial units that have played and continue to play a role in the history of Zionsville will be honored upon application by the present owners of the structure and approval by the Society. If you have a home that is at least 100 years old and are interested in having it recognized as a Century Structure, please select one of the two options below.
