Benjamin Harrison – Price Undetermined, Benjamin Harrison Home, Indianapolis, Indiana

Benjamin Harrison and his grandfather, ninth US President William Henry Harrison, are the only grandson-grandfather pair to serve in that office. Harrison’s great-great-grandfather was the US founding father, Benjamin Harrison V, so he had big shoes to fill. His home was built during the early 1880s. The carriage house, which was not really being used, needed extreme renovation by the 1930s so was demolished in 1937 and rebuilt. Harrison Home’s building was re-erected in 2000 by RATIO preservationists using Sanbourne maps and excavations by archaeologists. Photographs from the past were used to work out established details, proportions, site relationships, and materials.
