Old Propylaeum
| Description: |
The old Propylaeum building, completed in 1891, was located at 17 East North Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Propylaeum became an association in 1888 and it sought to provide the public, particularly the women of Indianapolis, with educational, literary, artistic, and other cultural opportunities. In 1923, the city purchased the Propylaeum building in order to begin construction on the War Memorial Plaza. As a result, the Propylaeum moved into a new building at 1410 North Delaware Street where, as of 2018, they remain today. |
