Blast from the Past

Step back in time in this nineteenth-century brick home featured in the book 99 Historic Homes of Indiana. Nearly as original as the day it was built, this two-story house exudes peaceful living as enjoyed many years by the owner and is a wonderful opportunity for history buffs looking to enjoy the simple life.

Constructed by farmer Thomas Mount in 1843, this I-House retains original doors, trim, and hardwoods throughout, as well as 3 cast-iron wood-burning stoves. Inside, the house includes 3 bedrooms, a living room, den/library, and kitchen. No modern plumbing, heating, or cooling systems or electricity. Outside, a 12’x12’ modern summer kitchen offers cooking space when it’s too hot to fire up the stove inside, equipped with a sink with running water from a well. The property also features an all-brick potting shed, barn, outhouse, and lots of character.
