@tmdavis6378 Unfortunately, it seems to have closed last year.

Owner closes Butler-Tarkington hardware store after 43 years in business - Indianapolis Business...

The Ace Hardware owner cited a variety of reasons for the closure, including the difficulty of competing against larger retailers and increased business costs.
