The building is the third oldest restaurant in the White Castle hamburger chain in the United States, and the oldest White Castle building in Indiana.

The building also features many castle elements including battlements, buttresses on the front façade, and a corner tower.

[2] Built in 1927, Indianapolis White Castle #3 was originally smaller than its current size with only a small counter bar and stools for customers inside.

During a 1950s renovation, an addition was added to the southwest elevation to better serve carryout patrons.

The Indianapolis White Castle #3 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011[1] for both its architecture and its contribution to American society during the fast food revolution.
