General Lew Wallace Study, Historical landmark in Crawfordsville, United States.
The General Lew Wallace Study features Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements with a copper dome roof and garnet-colored brick construction.
Built between 1895 and 1898, the study served as the writing sanctuary for Union Army General Lew Wallace, where he completed portions of Ben-Hur.
The museum displays Wallace's original furnishings, military uniforms, musical instruments, and artifacts that showcase his contributions to literature and service.

The study includes a hand-carved limestone frieze depicting characters from Wallace's literary works, including his nineteenth-century bestseller Ben-Hur.
