Legg House (Bloomington, Indiana)
The Legg House is a historic former farmhouse in Bloomington, Indiana, United States. Built in the middle of the nineteenth century, it has experienced a range of uses, culminating in its present status as an Indiana University office building. After a period of deterioration, it was restored to its original condition, and it has been designated a historic site.
==Construction==
A farm occupied the present site of the Legg House at least as far back as 1820. At that time, it lay on the edge of the city; the nearby Third Street was the only road that connected Bloomington to the outside world. Landowner George M. Legg built the original portion of the house in 1848,〔Haeberle, Bennett. "University, City Team Up to Restore Historic House". ''Indiana Daily Student'', 2001-09-05.〕 using a variant of the Greek Revival style of architecture.〔 Its construction employed local materials: the walls are built of handmade bricks, laid on a foundation of locally-mined limestone, and supported with poplar beams that were cut in the Bloomington vicinity.〔(IU, City of Bloomington Receive Grant for Historic Building Restoration ), Indiana University, 2001-08-30. Accessed 2010-09-10.〕 At the time of construction, it was a small house: just one story tall, it was divided into only two rooms. In later years, the house was modified significantly: a porch and frame wing were added during the 1870s, and elements throughout the house were covered during the twentieth century with elements such as drywall.〔Hinnefeld, Steve. "House To Be Restored". ''The Herald-Times'', 2002-07-13.〕
