The Bona Thompson Memorial Center, formerly the Bona Thompson Memorial Library, is a historic building on the original Butler University campus in the Irvington Historic District of Indianapolis, Indiana.[1] The building was designed by Henry H. Dupont and Jesse T. Johnson. It was constructed in 1903,[2] during the period from 1875 to 1928 when Irvington was the home of Butler University. The building is now known as Bona Thompson Memorial Center.

Except for the library and former university president's home (now Irvington United Methodist Church, locally called the "Church on the Circle"), all the other Butler University buildings in Irvington have been demolished.
