About
This Greek Revival style home was erected for the wealthy frontier banker, JFD Lanier, and given to the State of Indiana by his descendants. It is considered to be the "Crown Jewel" of Madison's National Historic Landmark District. The mansion was designed and built by noted architect Francis Costigan. The Indiana Society assisted in the refurbishing of the house and re-created a formal garden.National Historic Landmark
