Pictured in 1928, the Indiana World War Memorial, was constructed of native Indiana limestone and designed to look like the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in Turkey, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The memorial served as an imposing symbol of U.S. nationalism that was meant to give meaning to the sacrifice of World War I.
