Minton-Capehart Federal Building, Federal building in Indianapolis, United States
The Minton-Capehart Federal Building features a horizontal facade that tilts outward, creating an inverted ziggurat shape with six floors above ground.
The federal building, constructed in 1976, bears the names of former U.S. Senator Homer E. Capehart and Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minton.
The building represents the Brutalist architectural movement through its exposed concrete slabs and minimalist design, reflecting governmental architecture of the 1970s.
Multiple federal agencies occupy the building, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Internal Revenue Service, and Social Security Administration, serving citizens daily.
A rainbow mural titled 'Color Fuses' by Milton Glaser encircles the base of the building, contrasting with its concrete exterior.
