Architecture in Indianapolis: 1900–1920

Architecture in Indianapolis: 1900–1920 by preservationist and architectural historian Dr. James A. Glass offers a richly illustrated exploration of the city’s dynamic building boom in the early twentieth century, when Indianapolis flourished with new commercial, industrial, and residential development. Featuring over 300 photographs and drawings alongside 31 maps, the book showcases the wide range of styles embraced by the city’s architects and builders—from Italian Renaissance and Gothic to Arts and Crafts, Prairie Style, and Tudor designs—while also documenting the loss of distinctive structures over time. Serving as the second volume in a two-part history, it complements Architecture in Indianapolis: 1820–1900 to provide the first comprehensive account of the city’s architectural evolution during its first century.
