Indiana Landmarks announced Wednesday that Samara, a house designed in the early 1950s for Purdue University professor John Christian, won a 2023 Modernism in America Award.

Its jury of architects, educators, landscape architects and scholars recognized Samara as an example of deep commitment to architectural heritage, according to Indiana Landmarks.
