Cadle Tabernacle

The Cadle Taberncale was a tabernacle built by the Indianapolis christian evangelist E. Howard Cadle. Cadle built the building in 1921 at the corner of New Jersey and Ohio streets, and used it as a base of operations as he became a popular regional "evangelist of the air". Cadle would lose control of the building within two years of his construction, but was able to mount a successful effort to buy the building back in 1931.

The Tabernacle was used as a boxing venue from 1928 to 1931, and drew many of the more popular shows over the Armory and Tomlinson Hall, due to it's much larger seating capacity of over 9,000. The Cadle Tabernacle, still put on lower-level level shows as well.

E. Howard Cadle died in 1939, and his family sold the building in the 1960s, whereupon it was razed and turned into a parking lot.
