A member of the family for which the Kincaid House is named claimed her grandfather would be “spinning in his grave,” if he knew the 164-year-old brick farmhouse in Fishers had been torn down.
But Whitney Kincaid said she didn’t disagree with the City o f Fishers' decision to demolish one of its oldest buildings.
“It was pretty beat up and in bad shape,” said Kincaid, who had posted a comment about Donald Kincaid’s grave spinning on Facebook. “But my grandfather put $70,000 into fixing it up in the 1990s when people were interested in buying it and preserving it. So that's sad.”
The entire Kincaid family approved of the take-down , in fact, but that did little to quell outrage by some residents, who alleged that Fishers' elected officials are systematically erasing the city’s history
