James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home
The James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home, one of two homes known as the James Whitcomb Riley House on the National Register of Historic Places, is a historic building in the Lockerbie Square Historic District of Indianapolis, Indiana at 528 Lockerbie Street. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1962.〔〔 and 〕
==History==
An Indianapolis baker, John R. Nickum, had the building built in 1872. Nickum had the money to build the house as he had supplied the Union Army in Indianapolis with hardtack, a form of cracker despised by soldiers, during the Civil War. Nickum's daughter, Magdalena, and her husband Charles Holstein, a lawyer, would possess it when, in 1893, they invited noted poet James Whitcomb Riley to live with them. Riley had a bedroom on the second floor in this building for 23 years, helping the Holsteins with expenses.〔Conn, Earl L. ''My Indiana:101 Places to See'' (Indiana Historical Society Press, 2006). pg.88, 89〕〔Bodenhamer, David. ''The Encyclopedia of Indianapolis'' (Indiana University Press, 1994) pg.839〕
After Riley and the Holsteins died, William Fortune bought it in 1916. He would later, presumably at the behest of Booth Tarkington, transfer ownership to the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association five years later. Due to so little time having passed from Riley's death to its preservation, most of the items of the household items of Riley's day, except for the kitchen, remain within the domicile.〔http://www.lockerbiesquare.org/pdf/walkingtour.pdf〕〔(Lockerbie Square People's Club )〕〔Conn 88, 89〕〔Bodenhamer 839〕〔(Lockerbie Square Historic District-Indianapolis: A Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary )〕
Due to Riley's fame, it is the best known of the domiciles in the Lockerbie Square Historic District. The Riley Children's Foundation operates the museum. Noted items are the wicker chair which he frequently used after his stroke in 1911, and the bed on which he died on July 22, 1916.〔Bodenhamer pg.839〕〔Conn pg.88, 89〕
