The Kahn Tailoring Company building is a historic structure located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. It was designed by Indianapolis architects Vonnegut & Bohn and built in 1913. The building is a four-story Neoclassical style structure with reinforced concrete behind a brick veneer. The front entrance features a cornice with decorative features.[1]
This building served as the manufacturing headquarters for the Kahn Tailoring Company, started by Henry Kahn in 1903. In addition to the manufacturing building, Kahn operated a retail store at 7 North Meridian Street in Indianapolis. Kahn was known for their high-end, custom suits for men and women. It was also an important manufacturer of military uniforms for the United States during World War I and World War II.[2]
In 1954, Kahn Tailoring Company merged with the Globe Tailoring Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, and moved its manufacturing operations to Globe's facilities. The building was sold to a local printing company, who occupied it until at least the late-1990s. The building fell into disrepair before being converted into apartments in 2014.[3]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.[4]
