In 1986, Indiana Humanities had the opportunity to purchase the historic Meredith Nicholson House. Appropriate, as Meredith Nicholson was a Hoosier author whose most notable novel, “The House of a Thousand Candles,” was written while he was a resident of this historic home. As with all historic properties, constant upkeep is essential to its longevity. New technology throughout has allowed the historic facility to function as an effective contemporary office space. Several updates were also made to the exterior, including tuckpointing the masonry, restoring the windows, and most notably removing an addition to bring back the historic side porch. Internally, the first floor was updated to allow for greater functionality of the space and creation of a humanities hub.
