All Souls Unitarian Church (now Antioch Apostolic) [currently a residence]1455 North Alabama Street1913-14; Vonnegut, Bohn and Mueller of Indianapolis, architectsThe use of green slate and black and white detailing indicate a lingering English influence. The stained glass windows are very simply detailed, although the naturalistic design is reminiscent of Art Nouveau. The size and scale of the structure are more those of a home than what is commonly thought of as a church.The First Unitarian society in Indianapolis was organized in 1868. Although the congregation was without a facility, it did engage a full-time pastor, the Rev. Henry Blanchard, for about two years, from 1869 to 1871. Upon his resignation, the Unitarian society disbanded until 1903, when the Rev. E.E. Newbert undertook the organization of a new church.In 1904, the members bought this property from the First Presbyterian Church. Construction of this facility began in 1913. the congregation built a new church in the 1950s. The Antioch Apostolic Church subsequently occupied the structure.Old Northside Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1979,
