Millen House

Millen House is a Greek Revival residence on Indiana University's campus in Bloomington featuring symmetrical brick walls and distinctive twenty-seven windows arranged around its entrances. The building retains its original four-room layout with central hallways on each floor, reflecting the architectural conventions of its era.

William Moffett Millen constructed this residence around 1845, making it one of the earliest surviving Georgian-style houses in Monroe County. The building later passed to Indiana University, which incorporated it into campus life and academic operations.

The house served as headquarters for the Organization of American Historians after Indiana University acquired it in 1970. Today, this role connects the building to scholarly work and academic history in the region.

The house is located on Indiana University's main campus in Bloomington and can be reached easily from the campus pathways and grounds. Visitors should check campus access information and plan their visit during standard operating hours.

The house earned the nickname Raintree House from two large trees that once stood on the property and were notable features of the grounds. These trees gave the place its alternate identity before they eventually disappeared from the site.
