Eli Lilly and Company was founded in 1876 by the pharmaceutical chemist of the same name to manufacture high quality medicines. The company has approximately 39,000 employees worldwide for US$19 billion in sales. The Lilly Foundation gave $29 million to charitable causes in 2007 with many in Indianapolis over the years.

While Waymarking in Tennessee, I had already learned that Federalist Captain Eli Lilly was a leader at the Civil War Battle of Mossey Creek in Jefferson City. ( "Bridge to Bridge" Civil War trail brochure produced by the Hamblen County historical society) (visit link)

The photographs for the Lilly Corporate Center are taken from I-65, but the coordinates are for the actual location at 307 E McCarty Street in downtown Indianapolis.
