Indianapolis has one of the largest collections of large buildings related to freemasonry. Others include the Murat Centre, the Indiana Freemasons' Hall, and the  Knights of Pythias Building, Scottish Rite Building, and the Masonic Temple, all demolished. The building at One North Pennsylvania was also built by the Oddfellows. |
