>The new headquarters was completed in 1932, and was seven stories tall. It was later expanded in the 1940s and 1960s to bring it to its current size and height. The original building that had been moved was demolished in 1963.[3]

I would have thought that the sheer fact the building was the focus of an engineering marvel would have made it worth keeping around.

Same. I kinda have soft plans on visiting Indianapolis for the 2024 eclipse, and when I saw how close this building is to Monument Circle in the pictures I thought "oh cool, I'll go take a look at this building too!," but when I looked up the address it looked like some ugly 60s office building.

Alas.
