Built in 1895, the Calvin I. Fletcher House is a 2+1⁄2-story Queen Anne brick dwelling on a limestone foundation, with a hipped roof, gabled dormers and an eight-sided corner tower. A contributing carriage house stands on the property. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The house's name comes from Calvin I. Fletcher, a member of the Fletcher family whose banking house became one of Indianapolis's leading financial institutions. The 1895 Queen Anne design, with its corner tower and pointed-arch windows, was a visible statement of the family's standing in the city's business elite.
The property is located on North Pennsylvania Street and can be identified by its distinctive eight-sided corner tower visible from the street. Visitors should plan to explore the exterior and surrounding neighborhood, as building access depends on current hours and special programs.
The carriage house on the grounds is a contributing structure to the National Register listing, meaning it is counted as part of the historic property rather than a later addition. The main house was listed in 1984.
