The Propylaeum, Cultural center and historic residence in Indianapolis, United States.

The red brick building with limestone details features a wraparound verandah, square tower, and porte-cochère at 1410 North Delaware Street.

Built in 1890 for John William Schmidt, president of Indianapolis Brewing Company, the structure became the Indianapolis Woman's Club headquarters in 1923.

The Propylaeum Foundation connects women through leadership programs, arts initiatives, and preservation activities in an 1890s mansion setting.

The facility accommodates full-scale events with multiple rooms, grand staircase, and Rookwood Pottery fireplace tiles for various social gatherings.

The name derives from the Greek word propýlaion, reflecting its function as a gateway for female education and societal advancement.
