Indianapolis was a huge hub of German Immigration from 1820 – 1890 that greatly affected the culture of the city.  A great way to capture this historical immigration movement and culture of German ancestry is to film in Germantown.  Located there is a historic landmark that was once known as the German Renaissance Building, but during WW1 the name was changed to the Athenaeum.  It’s a place that celebrates the German-American culture.  This site can provide your Indianapolis film crew with amazing architecture from stained glass windows to beautifully laid red brick walls.
