This is the largest house on the fort, designed for the regimental commander and his family along with serving staff. This was a home for a full colonel who commanded the infantry regiment based here and served as the post’s commander. The house was not only a fixture of command for the base, but was also intended to host and entertain the civilian elite of Indianapolis, as well as dignitaries from Washington D.C.
