T. C. Steele State Historic Site, Artistic estate in Brown County, Indiana.

The T. C. Steele State Historic Site is a 211-acre (85-hectare) property in rural Brown County, Indiana, containing the home and studio of painter Theodore Clement Steele. The vernacular-style house, named the House of the Singing Winds, has high ceilings, screened porches, a pyramid-shaped roof, and a central fireplace. A dark red, barn-like studio built in 1916 measures 30 by 50 feet and has a wall of windows on its north side.

Theodore Clement Steele and his wife Selma moved to this property in 1907 and created a space that became central to Indiana's art community. The couple's presence shaped regional artistic life until 1926, establishing a foundation for creative work that would be preserved for later generations.

The home is called the House of the Singing Winds, after the breezes through its screened porches. Selma Steele mixed Arts and Crafts and Rococo Revival interiors, and artist Gustave Baumann carved a Gaelic saying below the fireplace mantle: "Every morning I take off my hat to the beauty of the world."

Visitors can take guided tours through the house and studio or explore the grounds independently on the hiking trails. Art workshops are offered regularly throughout the year for those interested in creative hands-on experiences.

Gustave Baumann, an artist friend of the Steeles, carved an old Gaelic saying below the fireplace mantle in the home: "Every morning I take off my hat to the beauty of the world." The house itself was named the House of the Singing Winds for the breezes through its screened porches.
