The Kokomo Common Council voted on May 11, 2026, to add two Mid-Century Modern structures to the Local Landmark Designation Registry.

The homes represent the 82nd and 83rd entries onto the local registry, which is available at cityofkokomo.org. Both homes are examples of Mid-Century Modern architecture found in Kokomo, dating from approximately 1940 to 1975.

The homes are located at 3300 Tally Ho Dr. and 3031 Mayfair Dr.

Structures 50 years and older may be nominated for inclusion in the Local Landmark Designation Register by filling out an application on the City of Kokomo website. The Kokomo Historic Review Board will work with the landowner for approval. The approved nominations are then sent to the Kokomo Common Council for final consideration and approval.

The board encourages anyone interested in the program to visit the webpage to learn more.

“This program gives Kokomo residents an opportunity to share how important their property is to the history of the community,” stated Review Board Vice President and Howard County Historical Society Executive Director Anne Shaw. “As we work to revitalize the Kokomo Review Board, we hope to provide education, preservation resources, and awareness of Kokomo’s built legacy.”

The board identifies and nominates historically and architecturally significant properties to the Local Landmark Designation Registry. It is important to note that listing is simply a local designation and does not come with restrictions on the property.
