Facts and practical information

The Horatio Chapin House, or simply, the Chapin House, is a historic home located at South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana. It was built between 1855 and 1857 by Horatio Chapin, one of the early settlers of South Bend and the first president of the board of town trustees. The house consists of a 2+1⁄2-story, cross-plan, Gothic Revival style frame dwelling, a rare example of its kind in the region. It's considered an outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture influenced by architect Andrew Jackson Downing. It is sheathed in board and batten siding and features lancet windows and a steeply pitched cross-gable roof with an elaborately carved bargeboard. The Chapin House is widely recognized as one of the most significant homes in the state of Indiana, and in 1980 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. ()
