Foster Hall

Foster Hall is a stone structure with seven gables, a slate roof, and leaded glass windows set on a raised foundation in Indianapolis. The building uses typical Tudor elements and today serves as a reception space, concert hall, and meeting venue for various events.

Architect Robert Frost Daggett designed the building in 1927 for Josiah K. Lilly Sr., who intended to house a private collection of Stephen Foster works there. The structure later became part of Park Tudor School's campus and received a national historic designation in 2005.

The building stands today as a landmark of Park Tudor School and shows the craftsmanship of the early 20th century as rarely seen in Indiana. Visitors can notice the attention to detail in the glass windows and stonework that define the character of the place.

The building sits on North College Avenue and is easy to find when entering the school grounds. Keep in mind that this is a private school location, so public access may be limited unless there is a scheduled event or special permission.

The building was originally built as a private house to hold a music collection, but today hosts school events and public gatherings. This shift from private collection space to community venue shows how historic structures adapt to new purposes.
