This property was once home to the Psychic Science Spiritualist Church. The carriage house behind this massive home expertly follows the design and color scheme.

Herman P. Lieber was a prominent businessman and civic leader. As one of the German free thinkers of the time, much of his philosophy and social values are incorporated in the building. He lived here with his family until 1939.

The interior and stained glass windows exemplify the Arts and Crafts Movement. They were designed and completed by the versatile architect and artist Brandt Steele, son of Indiana artist T.C. Steele.

Dr. Benjamin F. Clark and Rev. Dollie Clark acquired the property in its original state for the home of the Psychic Science Spiritualist Church. A few minor changes were made to the interior to adapt the home for its present use, while retaining its unique beauty and symbolism. The church was dedicated March 15, 1942 and has served the community since that time. The peony garden dates back to the initial landscaping.
