Hollingsworth House, Historic residence in Indiana, United States
Hollingsworth House is a two-story, five-bay Federal style frame dwelling built in 1854 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Its front facade carries a full-width, two-story portico, and a seven-room addition was constructed in 1906 or 1908.
Hollingsworth House was built in 1854 in Indianapolis, Indiana. A seven-room addition followed in 1906 or 1908. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
The house's name comes from the Hollingsworth family, and its 1854 frame construction with a full-width portico shows how Federal style was adapted to a mid-19th-century Indianapolis home. A seven-room addition from 1906 or 1908 marks a later phase of the building's use.
The building can be viewed from the outside to observe its facade and architectural details. Visitors should keep in mind this is a private property and access may be limited.
The seven-room addition of 1906 or 1908 is often mistaken for part of the original 1854 house; the full-width, two-story portico on the front facade belongs to that later work, so the Federal frame dwelling and its addition can be told apart by looking at the join.
