Beautiful quaint museum which has all of its original furnishings still present. This is an unique experience. Most of the bedrooms have their own sinks. One of the first bathrooms in Indianapolis was installed here with cherrywood copper tub wall to wall carpeting.

This was the perfect venue for our small wedding (60 guests). We appreciated the incredible customer service, beautiful and historic location, adaptable venue in the carriage house-style Visitor Center, and we even got to make use of the patio and lawn for our guests. The location, in walking distance of the Mass Ave. shopping and entertainment district, is also a plus.

Great looking house, you can almost feel like your in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Very impressive that all but a few household items are original.
