Morris-Butler House Indianapolis Indiana

  Morris-Butler House is a Victorian landmark in Indianapolis Indiana.  Built in 1864 in the Old Northside neighborhood, the Morris-Butler House is a Second-Empire brick house.  The house was commissioned by John Morris, a son to an Indianapolis settler, and he constructed on land that was purchased from the founder of Butler University, Ovid Butler.

The Morris family occupied the house from 1865 until 1878 when they moved to Woodruff Place.  The famed bankruptcy lawyer, Noble Butler moved into the house with his family.  Until 1957, when Noble's youngest daughter died, members of the Butler family resided in the house.  However, by this time, the socio-economic scene had changed from one of wealth and fashion to one of low-income renters.  The house was sold at an estate auction and served as an art gallery.  Shortly after, with funds endowed by Eli Lilly the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana bought the house, restored it, and turned it into a museum.

The Morris Butler House is open to visitors from February through mid-December from 10am to 3:30pm, with guided tours available on the half hour.  The admission price for adults is $5, $4 for seniors, and $3 for children or full-time students.  The Morris Butler House's address is 1204 North Park Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46202.  For more information, call 317-636-5409.
