Scribner House, Federal-style house in New Albany, Indiana.
The two-and-a-half-story Scribner House features two parlors, three bedrooms, and a ground floor kitchen with a wide fireplace for cooking.
Joel Scribner constructed this frame residence in 1814 as the first permanent dwelling in New Albany, using local ash, oak, and poplar trees.
