Description:	Allen Whitehill Clowes (center) shakes hands with Indianapolis Mayor William H. Hudnut (right) during the presentation of keys at the Clowes Memorial Hall 25th Anniversary Gala, while Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes Jr. stands to the left. The gala consisted of a performance by Rudolf Nureyev & Friends, followed by a champagne dinner held in the Krannert Room. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, construction of the approximately 83,444 square-foot Clowes Memorial Hall began on August 15, 1960, and it officially opened on October 18, 1963. Built at a cost of approximately $3,600,000, the building was constructed in honor of the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes. The majority of the financing was made possible by his widow Edith Clowes through the Clowes Foundation, but other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources.
