The IU Rotary Building, originally known as the Indiana Rotary Convalescent Home, is in Indianapolis, Indiana. Constructed in 1932, the Rotary Building is a two-story Tudor Revival-style building with 28,300 square feet (2,630 m2). The building has a moderate-pitched side-gabled roof with square-like wings on both sides of the main body. The walls are built with red brick in a Flemish bonding style, and there is limestone detailing surrounding the windows and above the main entrance. The limestone above the main entrance has decorative limestone with the words “Rotary” and “Convalescent” etched into it. The first floor of the façade has nine flattened Tudor arches. Above the main entrance, there is a roof terrace that overlooks the adjacent Ball Nurses' Sunken Garden and Convalescent Park to the south. The roof is covered with light grey asphalt shingles. The Rotary Building is located on the west side of the Indiana University Indianapolis campus.
