The mansion was built in 1890, and after three residential owners, the women of the Indianapolis Propylaeum moved in. Most of the home has been maintained for historic integrity, and a 1994 restoration project uncovered even more charming features and unique, hand-crafted details. The mansion is available for tours during normal business hours, and a virtual tour is available here.
