We were looking forward to seeing this, but couldn't find the entrance. It was only when we were leaving to go to the airport that we realised the entrance was around the back, which was in the car park. Shame, we missed out there. More

This is awesome to see, my son is a memeber of the Scottish Rite and we went to a christmas program there. It is fantastic, the ball room reminds you of a scene in the titianic and the ballroom on the ship. The sword in the ceiling is neat to see, and no one knows how it got there. A... More

The Scottish Rite Cathedral is BEAUTIFUL. It is a historically significant building in downtown Indianapolis. Locals and visitors should take the time to visit this amazing structure. Bring your camera for architecturally significant pictures. STUNNING! More

I was on the prom committee for a prom being held at this venue. I was taken by surprise at yet another architecturally beautiful building in our city. The inside is gorgeous. More
