Elias Abel House
The Elias Abel House is a historic building in western Bloomington, Indiana, United States. Built in the Greek Revival style in 1845, it was once the grand home of one of Bloomington's leading citizens. After many years of use, it fell into disrepair and was endangered by the possibility of destruction, but restoration has led to its designation as a historic site due to its authentic period architecture.
==Elias Abel==
Born in 1800 in Wythe County, Virginia, Abel moved to the Bloomington vicinity in 1824 and began to farm.〔Klassen, Teri. "Owners seek loan to restore historic house on Fairview." ''The Herald-Times'', 1985-06-03.〕 At this time, southwestern Indiana was very rural; Bloomington likely had no more than six hundred residents in 1824, but it was the most prosperous town in its region of the state.〔Blanchard, Charles, ed. ''Counties of Morgan, Monroe and Brown, Indiana: Historical and Biographical.'' Chicago: F.A. Battey, 1884.〕 Between 1841 and 1862, he was active in local politics; he served multiple terms as the Monroe County treasurer, and he was elected to serve in the Indiana General Assembly from 1856 to 1857. After finishing his Bloomington house in 1845, Abel lived on the property until 1856;〔 he had purchased the property for just $250, but he sold it for $1,000.〔Hanley, Donna, and Gayle Cook. ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Elias Abel House''. National Park Service, 1979-03-25.〕 After residing elsewhere for four years, he purchased a nearby house now known as the Blair-Dunning House; in 1862, he sold it to the future wife of Paris C. Dunning, later Governor of Indiana.〔 Into his old age, Abel continued to be both healthy and prominent in the community, keeping his reputation as one of Monroe County's leading Democrats into his mid-eighties.〔
