Butler Branch (Indiana)
Butler Branch (Indiana)

The Butler Branch was a historic railroad line that operated in Indiana, USA. It ran between the city of Logansport on the Wabash River in north central Indiana and the namesake town of Butler near the Ohio border in northeastern Indiana. This line was better known as the Eel River Railroad (late 19th century), since it roughly followed that northern Indiana waterway between Logansport and Columbia City; thus it was also known as the "Eel River Route" or "Eel River Line" under subsequent leaseholders and owners. In 1901, it was acquired by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), and it was operated by various wholly owned subsidiaries of that company as follows: Terre Haute & Indianapolis (TH&I) from 1901 to 1904, Vandalia Railroad from 1905 to 1916, and Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis (PCC&StL) beginning in 1917. During this era, the line obtained the "Butler Branch" designation. From that northeast Indiana town, trackage rights allowed PRR trains to continue over the Wabash Railroad to Toledo, Ohio. In Logansport, the line began at a junction with the PRR's South Bend Branch, with access to its Effner Branch and I&F (Indianapolis & Frankfort) Branch tracks. The line crossed the PRR's Chicago to Pittsburgh Main Line at Columbia City and the Grand Rapids Branch at LaOtto.Between Columbia City and a point due south of Garrett (or just northwest of Cedar), the alignment of Indiana State Route 205 was built to closely parallel a very straight section of the (now former) tracks of the Eel River Railroad (also known as the Butler Branch line).

Kendrick-Baldwin House
Kendrick-Baldwin House

Kendrick-Baldwin House, also known as the Cass County Memorial Home, is a historic home located at Logansport, Cass County, Indiana. It was built in 1860, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, "T"-plan, Italianate style brick dwelling. It has a two-story brick addition erected about 1922. It features a full-width, one-story front porch supported by Doric order limestone columns and added between 1920 and 1922, when the building was renovated for use as a veteran's home.: 2, 4 The house was built in 1860 by a local carpenter, George Bevan, for Stuart B. Kendrick, a wealthy local banker originally from New York. The house was constructed as a copy of a home known as "The Castle" on the Hudson River. Following the failure of Kendrick's bank in 1865, he sold the home to a local Presbyterian academy. It was used as school until 1875, when it became a boarding house. In the late 1870s, Daniel P. Baldwin (a judge who would later serve as Indiana Attorney General from 1880-1882) purchased the home, living there until his death in 1908. Baldwin's niece later sold the home in 1920 to a local American Legion post, Cass County Post 60. Funding for the building's 1920-1922 addition came from legislation passed which allowed for the appropriation of money for the constructions of buildings dedicated to veterans of the First World War. Since 1922, the building has been used for meetings by local organizations.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
