Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, Presidential residence museum in Old Northside Historic District, Indianapolis, United States.
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is a large historic residential mansion with three stories in Victorian style in Indianapolis. The building displays 16 rooms with original furnishings, family photographs, and personal objects from the time of the 23rd president.
The building was constructed in the mid-1870s and later served as the site of Harrison's election campaign during the 1888 presidential race. From this location he conducted his famous front porch campaign, greeting visitors from the veranda.
The house shows how wealthy families lived in the late 1800s, with furnishings and personal objects from the Harrisons' daily routines. The rooms convey a sense of how family life, work, and social responsibilities mixed together in a large Victorian household.
The house can be toured with guided walks through ten rooms that give visitors a good overview. The site is located in the Old Northside neighborhood and is easy to reach once you find where to go.
The house serves as an active polling place on election days, which sets it apart from other presidential memorial sites. This practice links the building's political history with its modern purpose in an unusual way.
