The Gibson Company Building is a five-story industrial structure completed in 1916–1917 in Indianapolis, Indiana, exemplifying the Chicago School style merged with Renaissance Revival ornament. Built of reinforced concrete with brick and terra cotta curtain walls, the rectangular building features characteristic Chicago-style windows dressed with Italian Renaissance detailing. Constructed originally to serve as an automobile assembler, supplier, and showroom, it stands as a testament to the city's early automotive manufacturing era. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
