Eagle-Pearson House

290 North Wabash Street

Built: c. 1870

Style: Italianate

Francis Eagle built this home for his family in the 1870s. Mr. Eagle was a prominent attorney and banker in Wabash for many years. Later, William Pearson used the home as an office for his medical practice.

One of the finer examples of the Italianate style in Wabash, the design combines two rectilinear pavilions with hipped roofs. A three-sided pavilion projects from the northeast façade and adds visual interest. A similar, faceted pavilion projects from the south elevation. The quality of the design is indicated by the finely tooled limestone window hoods and the stone surround with architrave framing the entrance.
