One of my favorites in Indianapolis, it is great for it's age. I love the interior too, a class act all around. :cheers:

7/10 - It looks solid & well-maintained, and the base and cornice seem to be well-done & harmonious, with their matching style & material. They also provide a good counterpoint to the red brick of the shaft.

The main reason I marked it down is that I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of that "almost Sullivanesque" ornamentation, or at least some indication of where the beams are, along the shaft (something Sullivan generally added to his buildings), which looks a bit bland compared to the cornice and base.

I swear, you have to google at least 80% of the buildings on the polls. :ohno: :bash:

Anyway, the building is nice. It's more than a hundred years old!!
