Dr. Patrick H. Jameson, a prominent physician who served as a military surgeon during the Civil War and later as Commissioner of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, was this home’s original owner. By 1970, the house had been broken up into 11 apartments and had served at various times as a brothel. It was subsequently abandoned and purchased on a credit card by two men who wanted to host a Halloween party in a “scary” house. Check out the gargoyle on the roof.
