BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

The architect Adolph Scherrer (1847–1925) designed many important public structures and residences in the city of Indianapolis during the late 19th century. He was born in Switzerland and studied in Vienna and Budapest before coming to the United States about 1870. Practicing first in City and he moved to Indianapolis about 1873. His first position here was as a draftsman for Indianapolis’ leading architect Edwin May. In 1878 May was commissioned to design the new state capitol but died in 1880 soon after the project began. The building was completed by Scherrer in 1888. By 1891 he was appointed to the first Indianapolis Board of Public Works. Scherrer’s sons, Anton and Herman, were also architects and worked in collaboration with their father and continued after his death as Adolph Scherrer and Sons.

Some notable buildings designed by Scherrer besides the State House includes: Maennerchor Hall, Indianapolis City Hospital, the 34th Street entrance to Crown Hill Cemetery, the Old Pathology Building at Central State Hospital, the Independant Turnverein, and the Elks Club.
