The Blacherne, Historical apartment building in Indianapolis, United States
The Blacherne stands as a seven-story red brick structure with two circular projecting bays at the corners and a limestone Romanesque Revival entrance portal.
The building, completed in 1895, was constructed by Indiana native Lew Wallace using the earnings from his novel Ben Hur at 402 North Meridian Street.
The building received its name from the palace mentioned in The Prince of India, another literary work by Lew Wallace published in 1893.
Current residents of The Blacherne enjoy access to 68 renovated apartments with wood flooring, controlled entry systems, and garage parking facilities.
The limestone foundation supports a massive structure spanning six bays by fifteen bays, creating an architectural pattern that defines the building's presence.
