HISTORY


Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes	Edith Whitehill Clowes

Clowes Memorial Hall, opened October 18, 1963, was built in memory of the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, former research director for Eli Lilly and Company. Dr. Clowes devoted his life to science and the arts. The idea of a multi-purpose hall to serve Indianapolis and the community as a center for all the entertaining arts was conceived by Dr. Clowes. Funds to erect and complete the hall were subscribed by Dr. Clowes’ family, with his wife, Edith Whitehill Clowes as the principal donor, Butler University and a small circle of friends sharing in Dr. Clowes’ devotion to the arts.

Free tours of Clowes Memorial Hall are available Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The average tour is 45 minutes and includes a brief history of the Hall as well as a look behind-the-scenes. Hours are subject to performance and rehearsal schedules and must be requested at least 14 days in advance. Arrangements can be made for participants with special needs. To register call 317.940.9697.
