This is the Heritage Learning Center for Ransom Place. This home was originally located on the Northwest quadrant of the Circle in Indianapolis. It was originally constructed to serve as the Governor's mansion after the Governor's mansion in the center of the Circle was deemed unfit by a former first lady.

It was later owned by the English family, who relocated the home in order to construct the English Hotel and Opera House. Before resting in its current location, the home was located at 1217 Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Street.

The home's previous owners include the McCormick family, the first white settlers of Indianapolis, and the New Baptist Church.
