Notes
  • Significance: The Occidental Building is the work of one of Indianapolis' most famous and prolific architectural firms, Rubush and Hunter. Founded in 1905, the firm mastered the office and commercial building form until the firm's dissolution in 1938. The Occidental was designed in 1913 and constructed the following year. It was one of a series of skyscrapers constructed in post-Victorian downtown Indianapolis in an era of unbridled growth and construction terminated by the Great Depression. The Occidental Building is typical of the period with its Renaissance Revival detailing and terra cotta cladding. It contributed to the commercial streetscape of West Washington Street with its many commercial tenants from 1914 to 1945 and as the home of L. Strauss and Company, the city's oldest retail clothier, from 1945 until 1985.
