Our History

McGowan Hall is a storied landmark in Indianapolis' Old Northside, originally home to a grand Romanesque chateau dating back to 1874. Once the residence of prominent figures like Hugh McGowan and family, founders of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company in 1902, the hall has a deep connection to the city's past. 

After the Knights of Columbus acquired the property, it became a vibrant fraternal clubhouse, hosting countless community events. Today, while preserving its historical essence, McGowan Hall stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Indianapolis, dedicated to enriching the community with a strong sense of history and purpose.
