Willard Carpenter House
Willard Carpenter House, Greek Revival residence in downtown Evansville, United States.
The Willard Carpenter House features thick brick walls, a Doric portico, rectangular windows in the frieze board, and detailed dentil molding throughout the structure.
Construction of this two-story residence began in 1848, utilizing local craftsmen and materials transported via the Ohio River from Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
The residence represents the architectural preferences of wealthy 19th-century Americans, combining both Greek Revival and Georgian design elements in its construction.
The building now serves as the operational headquarters for both WNIN television and radio stations, maintaining its structural integrity while adapting to modern use.
Local artisans Gottlieb Bippus, Knoll, and Tenford constructed the 21-inch thick walls using locally manufactured bricks, demonstrating early American craftsmanship.
