This French Revival home was designed by well-known architect Willard Osler in 1921 for Anton and Ina Vonnegut. To Hoosiers, Vonnegut is a familiar name. Anton was author Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s first cousin, once removed. This was also the former home of Dr. Frank Johnson. He was the Director of the Marion County Health Department, and in 1983, he was the first doctor to deliver African American quintuplets, born without the use of fertility drugs. The spacious grounds of the Hampton residence features a magnificent stand of 30 hardwood trees that are among the oldest in Meridian Park.
