William Culbertson was once the richest man in Indiana. His 20,000 square foot home was built in 1867 for $120,000 which is about $2 million these days. The original mansard tin roof was imported from Scotland and inside you find hand-painted ceilings and walls and hand-carved staircases. After his death in 1899, his third wife auctioned off the home and all the contents inside for just $7,100.
It’s now a State Historic Site and provides public tours.
