The Seville, Demolished apartment building in Indianapolis, United States

The Seville was a three-story apartment building on a raised basement, built in 1921 in Indianapolis. Its plan formed a C shape. Spanish-influenced terra cotta ornamentation covered the facade, and a wide overhanging cornice of stamped tin, boxed in, ran along the roofline. The building has been demolished.

The Seville was built in 1921 as an apartment building in Indianapolis. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, a listing that recognized its Spanish-influenced terra cotta ornament and its stamped tin boxed cornice. The building has since been demolished.

The Seville's Spanish-influenced terra cotta ornamentation marked it as an apartment building of the early 1920s, when such Mediterranean detailing was applied to American residential blocks. Its 1987 listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognized that ornamentation as worth recording, and the register entry now documents the facade of a building that no longer stands.

The Seville no longer stands, so there is nothing left to visit at its former site; the building was torn down after its 1987 listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Its appearance must be studied through the National Register documentation rather than from the street.

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.
