William Henry Harrison – Price Undetermined, Grouseland, Vincennes, Indiana

William Henry Harrison ‘s colonial home in Indiana, Grouseland, was constructed in 1804 while he was governor of Indiana Territory. It was the ‘White House of the West’ as the first building made of brick in Vincennes.  Biographers believe that Harrison built this large Georgian architecture structure in the middle of nowhere to earn respect for himself as a governor. The Grouseland estate was originally 300 acres large. Close to the deluxe mansion was a walnut tree grove where General Harrison met with the Indian chief, Tecumseh, in 1811. The council room in the house was General Harrison’s office as Indian Affairs Superintendent.
