From The Indianapolis Star, Monday, June 28, 1926: The Lincoln Square Co will erect a theater to be known as the Indiana, at 128 to 142 W. Washington St immediately west of the Claypool Hotel, at an approximate cost of $1,252,456 (2025: $23,262,053). The Indiana Theater will be a six-story fireproof building featuring old Spanish style architecture throughout with a front exterior characterized by a gigantic and richly carved terra cotta motif. The entertainment house will contain a beautiful, modern and luxurious motion picture theater, seating nearly 3,500 people at one time, and a magnificent ballroom on the top floor, which, it is believed, will be the largest ballroom of its kind in the Middle West. Lounging and smoking rooms and a children’s playroom will be available on the ballroom and mezzanine floors. The basement will have a bowling alley.
