Biographical Note
Adolf Scherrer was born in 1847 to a Swiss-German family. He was an architect by trade. Throughout his career he designed many Indianapolis buildings, including the Maennerchor Hall, City Hospital, and the Elks Club Building. Scherrer is most well known for his work as supervising architect of the Indiana State Capitol building in 1880 following the untimely death of the original architect, Edwin May. The changes Scherrer made to May's original design resulted in a more Greco-Roman style of architecture. Scherrer died in 1925.
