Glossbrenner House

Overview

Alfred Glossbrenner?s 1910 home is one of Indianapolis's most spectacular houses. Indiana Landmarks received the Glossbrenner Mansion in 2010 as a gift from the Walther Cancer Foundation, which sought long-term protection for its previous headquarters.

Glossbrenner was a successful publisher, making his fortune as the longtime president of Levey Brothers Printing Company. He hired English-born architect Alfred Grindle to design the Meridian Street house. The exterior includes exquisite stone carvings and leaded glass windows; the interior features hardwood floors and paneling of oak, mahogany and rare Circassian walnut.
