The Emelie was built in 1902 by German immigrant Frederick Schmid and named for his wife.[2] The building was saved and restored by Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf Architects to serve as the company's corporate headquarters from 1987 to 2003. It is three stories, constructed of red brick and gray limestone. It is built in the German Renaissance Revival Architecture style. It has fine decorative detailing, totaling 35,000 square feet (3,300 m2). It has also served as an apartment building and commercial space. The law firm Kat, Korin, Cunningham moved to the building in 2004 and donated the use of several of its rooms to the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, which subsequently moved to its current location in January 2019. The space used for the library was the former home of the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art.[3][4]: Part 2, p. 10–11
