502 W. Pearl House

Now we head south along Plum street we come to the intersection with Pearl street. On our right is the last house on our tour. Built around 1900, this house is a very fine and interesting example of Queen Ann style Victorian. It is classified as of Outstanding historical significance by the Indiana Department of Historical Preservation and Archaeology.

Viewing this house from either Pearl street or Plum street, we have mirror image facades that both display all of our signature Queen Ann features -- an impressive, three-story tower at the corner, two story bays with gable pediment roofs, a wrap around porch with classic columns and dentilled cornice and classic porticos with columns and a pediment over the entrances.

At some point, the owner of this home decided to enclose the wrap around porch which is certainly practical and has been done in a way that complements the classical appearance and adds character.
