Originally constructed in 1921, the Hoosier Gym (best known for its role in the 1986 basketball movie Hoosiers) was improved and expanded the gym in 1936. “The project included an exterior facelift with a new front entrance and lobby, and the creation of basement dressing rooms.”

No longer used regularly as a gym, the building has been turned into a museum and community center.
