The Commandant's House

 

Indiana State Soldiers Home Commandant's House

 

The Indiana State Soldiers Home, also known as the Indiana State Veterans Home, is just north of West Lafayette, Indiana and sits on over 150 acres of forest preserve land heavily laden with majestic oak trees and sugar maples.

This is one of the remaining original structures, The Commandant's Home, when the complex was built in 1896 to care for the aging Civil War Veterans from the Union Army who lived in Indiana.

Two statues of Union soldiers still stand their post even though the Soldier's Home Commandant's House has not been used in an official capacity for decades.

I really like this picture, because it provides more of the Commandant's house, than the picture you posted earlier, which featured the statue.  What a lovely structure that is!  Love the columns and the Dutch pitch to the roof!

Myrl, I just love this house and one of my former students had his reception there because his wife to be would not take NO for an answer from the State of Indiana until they allowed the event to happen there on state property.
