Jeff-Clark Preservation, Inc. is a non-profit organization incorporated in March 1982. Owners of historic properties in Jeffersonville had talked informally about organizing prior to the March date but a devastating fire made the idea come to fruition. 

When the double federal style house at 111-113 West Chestnut Street burned, it inspired two dedicated and forward thinking people, Rosemary Prentice and Harvey Russ to step forward and formally incorporate the organization to rebuild and restore the Grisamore House. The house is on the National Historic Register and was the first home of the Southern Regional Office of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana.

The goals of the organization include preserving the buildings in Jeffersonville and Clark County and encouraging their adaptive reuse. “Preserving the Past for the Future” is the objective. Jeff-Clark is also dedicated to preserving the history and heritage associated with the community.

To accomplish these goals, Jeff-Clark has undertaken a variety of projects. The Gregory House at 313 Pearl Street was purchased, renovated and resold as a family residence. The declining Pennsylvania Railroad Station on Mitchell Avenue was offered to the group if they would move it. The station was relocated to City Hall Park and restored. It serves as a community event facility and the base for the organization.
