Significance: Built in two phases 1904-05 and 1911, following the designs of architect P.C. Rubush and later Rubush & Hunter, the J.F. Darmody Company Building functioned as a confectionery and wholesale outlet for the Darmody firm. It is an early design of Rubush & Hunter, one of the most important and prolific architectural firms in Indianapolis history. Candy making was one of several industries located within the Indianapolis Wholesale District. Established during the Civil War, the Wholesale District served the city and central Indiana until after the Second World War as a source of wholesale products ranging from clothing to groceries and cigars. The J.F. Darmody Company Building is a contributing structure in the Indianapolis Union Station-Wholesale District listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 1982.
