Foster Hall
7200 N. College Avenue
Indianapolis, IN
Well-known industrialist Eli Lilly commissioned
Foster Hall in 1927 as a storage and clearinghouse for
information about American folk musician and
composer Stephen Foster. Architecturally, the building
is a rare example of a specific-purpose building,
designed to accommodate the popular Tudor Revival
style of its day. Architect Robert Frost Daggett,
designer of the building, was one of Indianapolis’ best
known architects of the period.
