The Indiana State Museum Building (formally the Indianapolis City Hall) is an adaptation of Roman Classic Architecture by the firtrr of Rubush and Hunter. The cornerstone was laid on July 27, 1909 and the building was dedicated on December 21, 1910.

 

The Old Indianapolis City Hall is considered one of the finest examples of early 20th century public buildings in the area. The exterior is a clear illustration of Neo-classical revival archiecture and the interior is a fine example of what was considered the height of decorative art at the time. The quality of construction is witnessed by the fine condition and usefulness of the building today. As the Indiana State Museum the public still enjoys access and the building is being carefully maintained. (1)
