William H. H. Graham House

The William H. H. Graham House is a mansion in the Irvington Historic District built in Colonial Revival style. It features a distinctive front portico with four two-story Ionic columns and a prominent bay window that give the structure its commanding appearance.

The house was built in 1889 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. During a renovation in the 1920s, additional architectural elements were incorporated that modified the original design.

This residence reflects the architectural tastes of wealthy Indianapolis residents in the late 1800s and shows what styles were chosen for prestigious homes of that era. The spacious rooms and elaborate design offer insight into how the city's prosperous families lived and displayed their homes.

The residence is located on University Avenue in the Irvington Historic District, where several other historic buildings are nearby. The location sits in an established residential neighborhood with maintained streets and parking options throughout the area.

In the 1920s the house served as a residence for a prominent local figure whose name is linked to controversial history of that period. This connection makes the house a place that documents Indianapolis' complex and difficult history during that era.
