James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home
James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home, Victorian museum in Lockerbie Square Historic District, Indianapolis, United States.
The two-story brick museum displays original Victorian furniture, hand-carved hardwood interiors, and personal artifacts from the renowned poet James Whitcomb Riley.
Built in 1872 by baker John Nickum, the residence became home to James Whitcomb Riley in 1893, where he lived for 23 years until his death.
The museum preserves the living space of Riley, who gained national recognition for his poetry about Indiana life and childhood experiences.

The residence maintains its original speaking tube system, which allowed household members to communicate between different rooms of the house.
