Historic Preservation
The Indianapolis Propylaeum values historic preservation of original architecture in Indiana and upholds this value by maintaining the historic integrity of our 1890s mansion. We also feature Historic Preservation topics at some of our programming.

Local experts and enthusiasts will discuss the history, architecture, and historical significance neighborhoods throughout Indianapolis and will share photos and stories from past and present.
Tour Our Historic Mansion
The mansion was built in 1890, and after three residential owners, the women of the Indianapolis Propylaeum moved in. Most of the home has been maintained for historic integrity, and a 1994 restoration project uncovered even more charming features and unique, hand-crafted details. The mansion is available for tours during normal business hours, and a virtual tour is available here.
