THE VENUE
The fair will be held at the prestigious Columbia Club in downtown Indianapolis. The Columbia Club was originally formed on February 13, 1889, by a group of prominent local Republicans as the Harrison Marching Society to support the presidential campaign of Benjamin Harrison. After the election, the society acquired a clubhouse on Monument Circle and changed its name to the Columbia Club to continue operation as a private club. The current structure was built in 1925 as the club's third home on the same site.
The Columbia Club showcases many hallmarks of the Gothic Revival style, including a multi-story oriel window, as well as Tudor influences seen in the window arches. The building also features relief panels carved in Indiana Limestone by Alexander Sangernebo, who also created limestone carvings for other historic buildings on Monument Circle. Inside the Columbia Club are numerous works of Hoosier artists and historic artifacts, including items from the Benjamin Harrison presidential campaign and part of the Lincoln family China collection.
