Ralston’s plan has outlived just about everything built around it. Indianapolis still follows the framework he laid down more than 200 years ago. He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery, where his gravestone is engraved with the city plat he designed. The story is still here. You just have to know where to look.

Ralston trained under Pierre L’Enfant, the planner behind Washington, D.C. When he helped design Indianapolis, that influence came with him. The city’s layout still reflects it: a central circle, streets radiating outward, a grid that feels deliberate because it was. You can still see that thinking all over downtown. It also shaped our logo.

Plat 99 takes its name from the city’s original plat map. On that map, our location sits at Plat 99. The lounge carries the reference throughout the space, including an installation of exactly 99 lights. Small detail. Strong point.
