Coordinates: 39°46′07″N 86°09′14″W / 39.7687°N 86.1540°W / 39.7687; -86.1540 Indianapolis Catacombs are approximately 20,000 square feet of underground passageways on the northeast corner of Market and Delaware streets in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.[1]

The passages and walkways include brick archways and limestone columns that were part of Tomlinson Hall, a building destroyed by fire in the 1950s.[1] Tomlinson Hall was a public auditorium located immediately west of the Indianapolis City Market.

Some tours were given in early 2012, and more are planned for later that year.[1]

The purpose of building the Indianapolis catacombs in the 1880s is unknown.[1]
