Nicholson-Rand House, Historic house in Decatur Township, Indiana, US.
The Gothic Revival residence exhibits asymmetrical design, projecting eaves with decorated rafter tails, and detailed woodwork throughout its exterior and interior spaces.
Scottish stonemason David Nicholson constructed this residence in 1876 while supervising the building of the Marion County Courthouse in downtown Indianapolis.
The architectural design reflects the influence of American architects Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing on residential construction during the 1870s.
The Historic Landmarks Foundation moved the structure half a mile south in 1997 to preserve it from demolition during commercial development.
The colored tile floors in the house match those installed in the Marion County Courthouse, linking these two significant construction projects.
