First Presbyterian Church (Indianapolis, Ind.)

Hide Profile

The First Presbyterian Church was assembled in 1840 following a rift in the Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis. A church was erected by Oct. 1842 at Market and Circle streets and a second church was completed in 1866 at Pennsylvania and New York streets. In 1902 a cornerstone was laid for new church at 16th and Delaware Streets. In 2001 the building became home to the Harrison Center for the Arts and the Redeemer Presbyterian Church. The cornerstone was removed and the contents, which included items from the 1841 and 1866 cornerstones, were donated to the Indiana Historical Society.
