This undated photograph provided by Lee Lewellen shows the Fowler Theatre, a movie theater in northwest Indiana once slated for demolition that has been restored to its Art Deco glory. The nonprofit that restored the 1940 building, the Prairie Preservation Guild, recently won Indiana Landmarks' annual Cook Cup for Outstanding Restoration. The group formed in 2000 after the theater's owner announced that it would be stripped of its Art Deco elements and demolished. That prompted the guild to purchase the theater in the town about 25 miles northwest of Lafayette and spend 14 years restoring it. (Lee Lewellen via AP) MANDATORY CREDIT
