Market Tower

[4] In 1991, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources installed a nest box atop Market Tower as part of a statewide species reintroduction program for peregrine falcons.

[10] The building's façade appears much like a grid, clad in red and gray granite and metal mullions framing tinted windows.

[2] Cornelius Alig, president of Mansur Development Corporation in 1988, noted that the company "made it our priority" that the tower's design complement existing architecture near Monument Circle.

[11] Steve Mannheimer, architecture critic writing for The Indianapolis Star, remarked on the influences: "The step-backs echo the Circle Tower.

(...) Market Tower is enriched by a set of historical motifs that make it — despite its restrained and hence almost 'international' stylistic rendering — an Indianapolis building much more than other Downtown skyscrapers.
