Candelabra, each 40 feet high, rest upon sculpted stone pedestals, bearing bronze swags and American flag escutcheons. The four large bronze candelabra were designed by Bruno Schmitz, and cast in Berlin.
The Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monument is a 284 ft 6 in (86.72 m)-tall neoclassical monument located on Monument Circle in the center of Indianapolis. It was designed by German architect Bruno Schmitz and completed in 1901. Bruno Schmitz brought with him Rudolf Schwarz. Schwarz was sculptor for the statuary groups "War" and "Peace", "The Dying Soldier", "The Homefront" and the four statues at the corners of the Monument that represents the Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Navy.
The Circle is the standard symbol of the city of Indianapolis, and the flag of Indianapolis is an iconic representation of Monument Circle.
The Monument was erected to honor Hoosiers who were veterans of the American Revolution, territorial conflicts that partially led up to the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the US Civil War, and the Spanish American War.
In addition to its external commemorative statuary and fountains (made primarily of oolitic limestone and bronze), the basement of the monument contains the Colonel Eli Lilly Civil War Museum, a museum of Indiana history during the American Civil War.
At the top of the Monument is an observation deck that can be reached by stairs at no cost or by elevator for a $2.00 charge (elevator brings you to the level just under the observation deck, with 30 additioonal steps). The staircase contains 331 steps, 330 of which are numbered.
In 1902 the cost to build this Monument was (US) $598,318. It has been estimated that building a similar structure today would cost over $500,000,000.
It is about 21 feet (6.4 m) shorter than the 305-foot (93 m) tall Statue of Liberty.
Indianapolis was founded in 1821, and the city's layout was platted by Alexander Ralston, whose design included a circle at the center of the city. The circle, a 3-acre (1.2 ha) plot surrounded by an 80-foot (24 m) wide street, was originally called the Governor's Circle because it was to serve as the site of the governor's residence. The Governor's Mansion was built there in 1827. However, due to the mansion's public location and poor construction, no governor ever lived there, and it was torn down in 1857.
As Indianapolis grew and developed after the Civil War, the area became a popular meeting place and was designated Circle Park. In 1884, a statue of Oliver P. Morton, governor during the Civil War, was dedicated at the center of the park.
Many times after the Civil War suggestions were made for a monument to be built to honor Indiana's veterans. Action was finally taken in 1887 when the Indiana General Assembly made a $200,000 grant and formed a Monument Commissionl Seventy designs were submitted in the international contest, of which two were chosen for further consideration. The commissioners then unanimously chose the design called Symbol of Indiana by the Prussian architect Bruno Schmitz, who was named supervising architect and paid a commission of 5% of the monument's total cost.
The cornerstone was laid on August 22, 1889. Inside it is a copper box containing a list of all Indiana soldiers as well as newspapers, the Constitution of Indiana, a national flag, and other related paraphernalia. Ceremonies included a speech by President Benjamin Harrison, the firing of artillery, and a parade. It was the first monument dedicated to the common soldier. The structure took twelve years to complete, and more funds were required. The legislature appropriated an additional $160,000 and raised over $123,000 with an additional property tax.
In 1893 the circle was renamed Monument Place. The Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument was formally dedicated on May 15, 1902. After a parade of flags with veterans of the Mexican, Civil, and Spanish-American Wars, General Lew Wallace was the master of ceremonies. Poet James Whitcomb Riley read his poem "The Soldier". John Philip Sousa had composed a march for the occasion entitled "The Messiah of the Nations".
In 1918 a museum opened in the basement of the monument with equipment and artifacts from the Civil War. Flood lights were added to the surrounding candelabra in 1928.
Since 1945, the monument has been decorated for Christmas, and in 1962 it was first decorated as the "world's largest Christmas tree", with garlands and cables of lights stretching to the top.
A series of repairs to the Monument began in September 2009. Angled windows, which had allowed some rain to seep in, were replaced with vertical windows, and steel supports for the Victory statue were replaced.

First swag of the day! We made a beeline when we first go there to Katie Cook's table, because her lines always get so long. I got Finn and Jake to complete an Adventure Time quad frame and, well, I HAD to have a Bucky this year. SO CUTE! Katie never disappoints. Ever.
I dropped by the Reykjavík Museum of Photography when I was in Reykjavík and, among other things, got these. They're programs from various exhibitions the museum has had. The Lars Tunbjörk one caught my eye and after a browse I just had to have that one and the August Sander one.
And since they were free I just got them all. Swag! Most are from a few years ago, but the Wayne Gudmundsson one, lower left, I actually saw when I was in Iceland last year. Good exhibition too.
