Condit House

The Condit House is currently located on Indiana State University's campus, and houses the current President Bradley and his wife. The house has been on campus since 1962, and it's the oldest building. Before the house became property of the university, it was the private residence of the Reverend Blackford Condit family since 1862. The Condit family purchased the home from Lucien Houriet, a local jeweler in Terre Haute at the time, who had the house built in 1860. The house is a great example of the rich history of Terre Haute, and the beauty that used to surround the town. It is actually five years older than the university, or more accurately, the Teacher's College that opened in 1865. Although, there are not many building left from the earlier years of the university, places like the Condit House make it easier to imagine what Indiana State would look like today if its past had not been erased.
