        General Info
        Historic Mansion immediately north of downtown Indianapolis. Built in 1890 as a family home for the Schmidt family thanks to the success of their brewing company. It was purchased in 1923 by the Indianapolis Propylaeum, an organization of women suffragists who had been fighting for the right to vote since their formation in 1888. The Indianapolis Propylaeum was founded by May Wright Sewall as a way to bring women together and act as a gateway to culture, starting with the right to vote. The Indianapolis Propylaeum still exists today as a 501(c)3 non-profit and is both an active organization promoting women's leadership, arts and cultures, and historic preservation, as well as an event venue for programs, private events, weddings, and overnight stays. The Propylaeum is open weekdays from 9:00am to 4:30pm for free self-guided tours. The Cafe at the Prop is open Weekdays from 11am to 2pm.Historic Mansion immediately north of downtown Indianapolis.

        The previous catering company that ran the special events has left this facility 12/31/2014. The Propylaeum has wonderful new events -- come visit and see the new image at www.propindy.org

        Needs NEW Management



        Just go see the house, take a tour, give a donation to the preservation fund, but DON"T waste your money or time on the dining experience. We couldn't stomach the verbally challenged owner of Signature at the Propylaeum. Her presentation during a recent event was not requested or appreciated. She needs to take her ego and her "I had tea with the Queen" stories somewhere else and allow people to eat in peace, but on second thought, the food wasn't that good. The Ladies Club just needs to find someone decent to run this place.
