Shadowwood, Colonial Revival estate in Palmyra Township, Knox County, Indiana, United States.
The two-and-a-half-story brick dwelling includes a side-gabled tile roof and a prominent two-story portico on the south facade with a second-story sleeping porch.
The estate, constructed in 1917 for Colonel Eugene C. Wharf, stands on land that was previously part of the Rose Hill Farmstead, acquired from Robert B. Patterson.
The Knights of the Golden Circle conducted meetings on the forested hill where Shadowwood now stands, leading to its initial name of Rebel Hill.
The property contains additional structures from 1917, including a pump house and carriage house, plus a chicken house constructed approximately in 1945.
Shadowwood served as the International Headquarters of Sigma Pi Fraternity from 1963 to 2003, after Vincennes University transferred the property to the organization.
