Obelisk Square - Indianapolis AI Description:
Obelisk Square, formally known as the Veterans Memorial Plaza, is a notable feature of the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Here are some key details about this location:

Location: It is situated in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, between the American Legion Mall and the Indiana World War Memorial.

Historical Context: Initially known as Obelisk Square, this plaza was completed in 1930 as part of a larger effort to honor veterans, particularly those from World War I. It's part of the five-block Indiana World War Memorial Plaza, which was conceived in 1919 not only to memorialize the fallen but also to serve as the national headquarters for the American Legion.

Main Features:
The Obelisk: The centerpiece of the square is a 100-foot tall obelisk made of black Berwick granite. This obelisk symbolizes the hopes and aspirations of the nation and is adorned at its base with four bronze bas-relief tablets, each measuring 4 feet by 8 feet, representing the four fundamentals on which the nation's hopes are founded: Law, Science, Religion, and Education. These were installed in 1929 under the supervision of sculptor Henry Hering. The pinnacle of the obelisk is covered with gold leaf.

Fountain: Surrounding the obelisk is a large fountain, 100 feet in diameter, made from pink Georgia marble and terrazzo. It includes two basins, spray rings, and multicolored lights, enhancing its visual appeal.

Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Monument Circle, Indianapolis, IN Built in 1888-1901, this Beaux Arts-style monument was designed by Bruno Schmitz to memorialize and honor the Civil War veterans from Indiana, as well as those who fought in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, and Spanish-American War. The monument stands on what was originally Governor’s Circle, later known as Circle Park, and was home to the Indiana Governor’s Mansion from 1827 until 1857, though the mansion was built poorly and was never utilized for its intended purpose. Following the demolition fo the mansion, the site remained vacant, being fenced off as a park consisting of a grassy lawn and little other landscaping in 1867, which remained largely vacant until the construction of the present monument began in 1888. The monument is clad in limestone with decorative sculptural reliefs, bronze sculptures, an obelisk, a statue of Victory at the top of the obelisk, a rusticated base, and a plaza with fountains, decorative lampposts, and grassy lawns with planting beds surrounding the base. The monument is a contributing structure in the Indiana War Memorial Plaza Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1994, and is a contributing structure in the Washington Street–Monument Circle Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The monument stands in the middle of Monument Circle, which has been the center of the city of Indianapolis since it was platted in 1821.
