The Hermitage, Historical house in Indiana, United States

The Hermitage is a 1+1⁄2-story clapboard frame dwelling in Brookville, Indiana, reconfigured in 1898 in a Bungalow/American Craftsman style. A full-width front porch is carried on 17 tapered columns, an artist's studio sits at each end of the house, and a rear section rises to 2+1⁄2 stories.

The original house was built about 1835 by James Henry Speer, a well-to-do paper manufacturer. In 1898 painter John Ottis Adams and his wife Winifred Brady Adams, a still-life painter, reconfigured it; Adams had earlier shared the house and studios with T. C. Steele, and by 1899 the couple held full possession. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The house is named after the Hermitage of painter J. Ottis Adams, who shared it and its two end studios with T. C. Steele before 1899, when Adams and his wife, still-life painter Winifred Brady Adams, took full possession. The property also holds a gazebo and pergola from about 1910 and a levee built after a 1913 flood.

The Hermitage stands in the Brookville Historic District; the property includes a levee built after the 1913 flood, a gazebo and pergola from about 1910, and an outhouse. The house is a private residence, so visitors see it from the street and should not expect interior access.

The property retains a levee built after a 1913 flood, along with a contributing gazebo and pergola from about 1910 and an outhouse. Painter J. Ottis Adams first shared the house and studios with T. C. Steele before full possession passed to Adams and his wife Winifred Brady Adams by 1899.
