1410 N Delaware St
Indianapolis, IN 46202
Historic Mansion immediately north of downtown Indianapolis. Built in 1890 as a family home for the Schmidt family thanks to the success of their brewing company. It was purchased in 1923 by the Indianapolis Propylaeum, an organization of women suffragists who had been fighting for the right to vote since their formation in 1888. The Indianapolis Propylaeum was founded by May Wright Sewall as a way to bring women together and act as a gateway to culture, starting with the right to vote. The Indianapolis Propylaeum still exists today as a 501(c)3 non-profit and is both an active organization promoting women's leadership, arts and cultures, and historic preservation, as well as an event venue for programs, private events, weddings, and overnight stays. The Propylaeum is open weekdays from 9:00am to 4:30pm for free self-guided tours. The Cafe at the Prop is open Weekdays from 11am to 2pm.
