Change how you see Indianapolis with side-by-side photographs of historical landmarks, including the Rathskeller, designed by novelist Kurt Vonnegut’s grandfather, as an Athenaeum for Germans to exercise and entertainment. Or the grandeur of the Walker Theatre, which was built to satisfy another business venture for black millionaire Madam C. J. Walker, whose parents were born into slavery.
