Ruthmere Mansion, Beaux-Arts mansion in Elkhart, Indiana.
The three-story Ruthmere Mansion displays buff-colored Belden brick walls, Indiana limestone details, and a marble piazza at its main entrance point.
Built in 1910 by architect Enock Hill Turnock, the residence belonged to Albert and Elizabeth Beardsley until their deaths in 1924.
The mansion features Cuban mahogany interiors, hand-painted Italian murals, and silk wall coverings that represent early 20th-century American design preferences.
The mansion operates as a public museum with guided tours, educational programs, and a specialized arts reference library accessible by appointment.
Named after the Beardsleys' daughter Ruth and 'mere' referring to its location near the St. Joseph River, the mansion contains original furniture from 1910.
