Morris-Butler House

Immerse yourself in the rich elegance of the Victorian era at the 1865 Morris-Butler House in Indianapolis.

Tours, events, and exhibits at the historic house highlight architecture, decorative arts, and family life in the nineteenth century. From the dramatic formal parlor to the private living quarters, you’ll see how an upper-middle-class family and their servants lived in the Victorian era. Rare furnishings fill rooms adorned with stenciled ceilings and elaborate wall-paper and plasterwork. In addition to its magnificent architecture, the home contains a collection of nineteenth-century sculptures, paintings and lithographs from all over the world.

Events at the historic house include holiday performances, educational programs, seasonal exhibits, and guided tours. The Morris-Butler House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
