The Seville

The Seville was a three-story C-shaped residential building on North Illinois Street featuring Spanish-influenced terra cotta ornaments and a wide stamped tin cornice. The facade combined these decorative elements with the solid structure typical of early 20th-century apartment buildings.

George Lawrence and William H. MacLucas designed this residential structure in 1921 during a period of development in Indianapolis. It gained recognition in 1987 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The building displayed Spanish architectural details that reflected the Mediterranean design trends influencing American residential construction during its era.

The building was situated in a readily accessible location near downtown Indianapolis on North Illinois Street. Visitors could view the architectural details from the street to appreciate the craftsmanship and Spanish influences of the facade.

The building was eventually demolished, but its architectural features were documented in the National Register of Historic Places records. This preservation of information helped maintain the historical record of Spanish design influences in American architecture.
