History
The location was formerly the site of the Traction Terminal Building, a covered depot for the interurban lines in Indianapolis. A 9-story office building adjoined the depot.[1]
The hotel is built of structural concrete with a limestone facade. The building was originally constructed in 1971 as the headquarters of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana (now Anthem), which vacated the building in the 1990s. It was refurbished into a hotel and opened as an Adam's Mark hotel in May 2000. In August 2004 it was rebranded as a Hilton.[1]
