Scottish Rite Cathedral
650 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, (800) 489-3579
This Tudor-Gothic style cathedral was judged during its early days as one of the world’s most beautiful buildings.

The Gothic Tower rises 212 feet and contains a 54-bell carillon. Banquet, wedding and meeting facilities are available throughout the year.
