Thomas Askren House, Federal style brick house in Indianapolis, United States.
The Thomas Askren House features a two-story design with a side gable roof and incorporates a rear extension for additional living space.
John Thomas Askren, a War of 1812 veteran who served under Andrew Jackson, constructed this residence between 1828 and 1833 using bricks fired on site.
The residence represents early 19th-century Federal architecture in Indiana, with walls built three bricks thick demonstrating period construction methods.
The property occupies nine acres of wooded land at 6550 East 16th Street, bordered by East Pleasant Run Parkway Drive in Indianapolis.
The house now functions as The Askren House Dinner Club after extensive restoration, maintaining its status as Indianapolis's second-oldest standing residence.
