Indiana Landmarks Center

Constructed in 1900 and connected to the original building, Cook Theater is both large and intimate, a feat fostered by the rich, intricately patterned wood walls and ceiling, outstanding acoustics, and original chandelier. The main soaring theater space is surrounded by rooms that open to the theater on the main level and mezzanine.The proscenium stage, equipped with theatrical lighting, sound system, video projection, and a Yamaha C3 piano, has been used for concerts and small theatrical productions.

Surrounded by gardens and large planted urns, Place de Basile—a brick-paved entrance court—welcomes you to Indiana Landmarks Center, with an enormous stained glass window as a backdrop. In warmer months, it is an ideal area for outdoor pre- or post-event receptions.

What began as a theater-style church sanctuary in 1891 functions as an ideal venue for weddings and other ceremonies, concerts, choirs and soloists, film screenings, auctions, speeches and panel discussions. “Wow” is the most common reaction among people entering the Grand Hall for the first time.The stenciled and gilded features—walls, dome and organ pipes—add to the historic atmosphere. With stage lights and computer-controlled colored lighting effects, we can bathe the domed ceiling, chandelier, and central dome in colored light of your choosing, or orchestrate a changing show.

Built in 1865 in the Second Empire style, Morris-Butler House is an ideal rental venue for smaller weddings, receptions, dinners, and other special events, educational programs, and small meetings.Rental spaces on the first floor—all furnished with antiques—include the formal parlor, dining room, and library. The rooms have rich color schemes, decorative painting, and the high ceilings and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows typical of high Victorian interiors.
