The Gramse, building in Indiana, United States
The Gramse is a two-story building in Indianapolis constructed in 1915 from yellow brick and limestone. It displays characteristic Craftsman style features including three-sided bay windows, corner porches, a cross-hipped roof with small dormers, and sections adorned with stucco and half-timbering decoration.
The building was designed by architect Herbert W. Foltz in 1915 during Indianapolis's early 20th century expansion, when such structures provided housing for workers and middle-class residents. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, recognizing its architectural significance to the city.
The Gramse carries the name of a family with ties to early 20th century Indianapolis. Today the King Park neighborhood displays a mix of preserved older homes and modern structures, shaped by mature trees and wide streets that reflect its heritage.
The building sits on North Broadway Street in an accessible neighborhood with wide, clear streets suitable for walking. The surrounding area offers plenty of space to view and photograph the facade and nearby historic and modern structures.
The building underwent renewal in 2017 through a financial partnership that converted it into affordable housing while preserving its historic character. The renovation integrated modern, environmentally friendly building practices that respected the original architectural features.
