The John Kinzer House is a historic house in Carmel, Indiana. It was built in the 1840s by John D. Kinzer, a settler who lived here with his wife and their seven children. Kinzer purchased the land from the federal government and initially built a much more modest cabin which still stands next to the main house; the cabin was built in 1828. The main house was designed in the Federal architectural style, with two stories and two chimneys. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 5, 1975.

The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts

The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts is 1,500-seat, 151,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) concert hall located in Carmel, Indiana.After years of planning, The Palladium, one of three venues that comprises the Center for the Performing Arts, opened on January 29, 2011, and today serves as a venue by internationally recognized artists. It is located at 1 Center Green, adjacent to the Carmel City Center. The four-fronted, symmetrical design of The Palladium, massed around the domed central space of the single room concert hall was inspired by Andrea Palladio’s Villa Capra, La Rotonda (1566). The Palladium is based upon the traditional shoebox-shaped concert hall with high ceilings and massive, sound-reflecting walls. The facility also features a limestone façade and movable glass acoustical panels that can significantly alter the acoustics of the hall.The Palladium was designed by David M. Schwarz Architects of Washington, D.C. with local consultation by CSO Architects as Architect of Record. Indianapolis-based Shiel Sexton Co. Inc. served as construction manager.The Palladium is also home to the Great American Songbook Foundation. The organization's administrative headquarters are located on the Gallery level. There are two other venues that comprise the Center — the 500-seat Tarkington Theatre, a proscenium theatre reminiscent of a Broadway theatre where most of the Center's musicals are performed, and the Studio Theatre, a small "black box" with flexible seating configurations. Steven Libman was the founding President and CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts from 2009 to 2011. While there, he successfully planned and launched the first few seasons and produced two major opening night festival galas with Michael Feinstein, Chris Botti, Neil Sedaka, Dionne Warwick, David Hyde Pierce and dancers from American Ballet Theatre. He also produced a PBS special with Feinstein seen by 11 million viewers. The special, titled "Michael Feinstein: The Sinatra Project", was nominated for Outstanding Music Direction at the 64th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. In 2012, Tania Castroverde Moskalenko was hired to lead the organization. She was previously the CEO at the Germantown Performing Arts Center in Germantown, Tennessee. Under her leadership, the Center continued to expand programming offered in its three venues and attained increased funding from individual and corporate sources. In March 2015, the Center announced a significant four-year sponsorship agreement with Carmel-based Allied Solutions.In August 2016, Moskalenko resigned from her position, and board chair Jeffrey C. McDermott assumed the role of interim president and CEO. One year later, McDermott was officially elected by the Center Board as the new full time president and CEO.

West-Harris House
West-Harris House

West-Harris House, also known as Ambassador House, is a historic home located at 106th Street and Eller Road in Fishers, Hamilton County, Indiana, United States. The ell-shaped, two-story, Colonial Revival-style dwelling with a large attic and a central chimney also features a full-width, hip-roofed front porch and large Palladian windows on the gable ends of the home. It also includes portions of the original log cabin dating from ca. 1826, which was later enlarged and remodeled. In 1996 the home was moved to protect it from demolition about 3 miles (4.8 km) from its original site to its present-day location at Heritage Park at White River in Fishers. The former residence was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 and is operated as a local history museum, community events center, and private rental facility. The restored home is named in honor of two of its previous owners, Thomas and Sarah West, and Addison and India Harris. The Wests had the original two-room log section of the home erected about 1826 on their land at the northwest corner of present-day 96th Street and Allisonville Road in Fishers. Addison Harris purchased the rural property in 1880 and had the home enlarged and remodeled around 1895. Harris was a prominent Indianapolis lawyer, a former member of the Indiana Senate (1876 to 1880), and a U.S. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Austria-Hungary (1899 to 1901). His wife, India, was active in the Indianapolis arts community, serving from 1905 to 1907 as president of the Art Association of Indianapolis (the predecessor to the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Indiana University – Purdue University at Indianapolis's Herron School of Art and Design). The home's nickname of Ambassador House comes from Addison Harris's diplomatic service in Vienna, Austria, during President William McKinley's administration.
