Built in 1898, this outstanding flamboyant Queen Anne style architecture was designed by nationally-known architect George Barber. It is notable for its unusual polygonal tower, brackets, wood shingles and sawn and turned decoration. This combination of elements enlivens the overall composition. The one and a half story frame dwelling with corner turret, shingled gables, essential elements intact, is clad in clapboards and shingles with its asymmetrical plan and whimsical tower, wings, and decoration. Hipped-roofed with numerous cross gable wings, the house has two interior masonry chimneys veneered with gauged stucco from the north and south slopes of the roof and two similar but smaller chimneys from the rear ell.

The front facade features a six-sided tower with a hexagonal domed roof. Its roof has a molded cornice, curved brackets and crown molding around the bottom of the frieze. Windows of varying widths are double hung with nine panes in the upper sash and one in the lower and with stick-style design surrounding the windows. The front porch has a shallow, hipped roof and the entrance has a shingled pediment with a curved metal finial which flairs out at its peak. The barge board is wide and ornamented with slightly curved ends. Original mantels, stair banister and newel posts remain. Turned spindle decoration remains over the door that leads from the hall to the rear of the house. The unpainted pine woodwork upstairs is beautifully molded and in good condition.

This Landmark property is located in the Broad Kenan Historic District and is being sold with covenants to protect the historic architectural elements of the house.

This circa 1850 cottage was home to American Impressionist T.C. Steele during his formative years as an artist. Steele received his first formal arts training at the Waveland Academy where he began to teach at the age of 13. He moved from Waveland at the age of 19 already an accomplished portrait artist. He would later establish himself as one of the preeminent Hoosier artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana acquired the home to prevent its demolition.

The 1,200 square-foot, 1 1/2-story house displays simple Greek Revival details, with two Eastlake style porches and an arched window added later. Historic Landmarks has partially restored the exterior with a new roof, and siding, porch and foundation repairs. The exterior has been primed and painted. The interior requires complete rehabilitation including systems. Previous owners removed the home’s plaster walls and stripped the interior to studs; the buyer is free to restore the original floor plan or opt for an airy new configuration.

The home is located one block south of Waveland’s downtown historic commercial district. With a population of approximately 425, Waveland is located just minutes from Turkey Run State Park and Shades State Park, 15 miles from Crawfordsville, 40 miles from Terre Haute and approximately 50 miles from Indianapolis.

The home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is eligible for restoration tax credits. The property will be sold with preservation easements, so all exterior work will need to be reviewed and approved by Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana.
