The Academy
429 E Vermont Street, Suite 110
Indianapolis, IN 46202
Firefly is located downtown in the historic Lockerbie district, Indianapolis' oldest residential neighborhood, in a magnificently renovated schoolhouse called the Academy. It’s adjacent to St. Mary's church and originally functioned as St. Mary's Academy, a Catholic high school. It is a neo-gothic structure that in 2006 underwent a 3 million dollar renovation, and is now owned by the Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis. The money generated by the building goes toward the funding of grants, of which the three main areas are childhood obesity, HIV/AIDS research, and school-based adolescent health.
We are excited to be occupying the space that was the former auditorium. Between the attached courtyard, gothic architecture, giant windows, original tile and stained glass, it’s the perfect place to get a tattoo!
