Dr. Jeremiah and Ann Jane DePew House, Greek Revival residential house in Danville, Indiana.
The Dr. Jeremiah and Ann Jane DePew House is a residential building from the mid-19th century located in central Danville. The two-story structure with five window bays displays classical design elements and includes a single-story extension at the rear.
The house was built in 1858 during a period of economic growth in Danville and reflects the prosperity of that era. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, recognizing its importance to the town's architectural heritage.
The residence shows how prosperous families in 19th-century Danville organized their homes and expressed their social status. The classical design reveals the tastes and values of people during this period of the town's development.
The building is located on East Broadway Street in central Danville, about three blocks southeast of the Hendricks County Courthouse. The site is easily accessible on foot and situated within a historic neighborhood with other points of interest nearby.
The facade shows a blend of two different periods: the original design from the 1850s was modified in the 1930s with a new porch style. This combination of two architectural eras on one building shows how homes were adapted and updated over the decades.
