Notes
  • Significance: The John T. Beasley Building (Citizens Gas and Fuel Company) is significant because of its association with the Citizen Gas and Fuel Company of Terre Haute, one of the oldest gas companies in the region. It is one of the few remaining examples in the state of the work of Dalton G. Shourds, a local architect who was active in the midwest during the first half of the twentieth century. It also represents a good local example of the use of terra cotta in neo-classic twentieth century commercial architecture. The structure was originally an office building as well as headquarters and showroom for the Citizens Gas and Fuel Company, as such it was a symbol of the importance of the manufactured (and later natural) gas industry in Vigo County and the surrounding area. The building gains further significance from its association with John T. Beasley, an important politician, businessman and financier who was active in the Wabash valley during the latter part of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth.
