Indianapolis Propylaeum
Variant namesThe Indianapolis Propylaeum, founded in 1888, began as a stock company to build and maintain a building for the use of women's clubs. The first building, opened in 1891, was torn down to build the War Memorial Plaza and the Propylaeum moved to the Schmidt-Schaf House in 1923. A cultural and social haven for Indianapolis women, a number of groups continue to meet there, including the Indianapolis Woman's Club and the Fortnightly Literary Club.
