====== Dr. John E. Stevenson House (BE 295) ====== Dr. John E. Stevenson House This house, built c.[[1870]], is the sole surviving building associated with the [[Big Bone Lick]] mineral springs, where a leading resort/spa prospered in the mid-19th century. Dr. Stevenson, proprietor of the Home for Invalids at [[Big Bone]], was involved with both the curative and recreational aspects of the resort and operated at least two of the hotels erected there. The Stevenson House is a three-bay, central-passage frame I-house with rear ell. A drylaid stone retaining wall defines the front property line, and a stone-lined root cellar is built into a hillside immediately behind the house. West of the house is a sculpture garden created by the current owners. The house was added to the [[National Register]] in 2000. ===== More Information ===== ==== Related websites ==== * National Register Information (PDFs), [[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/af5ffa36-661d-4704-85b1-4e71703ae10c?branding=NRHP|inventory form and photos]] ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Historic Homes]]
