Hammond Block, Commercial building in Indianapolis, United States
The Hammond Block features a three-story trapezoidal design with red brick walls, limestone basement, and cast iron decorative elements at 301 Massachusetts Avenue.
Built in 1874 by Rezin R. Hammond, the structure housed the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons between 1887 and 1891, predecessor of Indiana University School of Medicine.
The building incorporates elements of Italianate, Gothic, and Ruskinian Gothic architectural styles, representing 19th-century commercial architecture in Indianapolis.
Located one block from the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, the Hammond Block maintains its position as an active commercial space in downtown Indianapolis.
Attorney Henry Price saved this 1874 structure from demolition in 1979, leading to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places that same year.
