The Historic C.E. Morris Mansion, built in the late 1800's, is a beautifully preserved Romanesque Revival estate set along East Broad Street in the Ol Town East district. Rich in architectural character, the home has been carefully restored over time and incorporates select historic elements reclaimed from the former Indianola United Methodist Church on 17th Avenue and Summit. The building displays distinct elements of the Queen Anne style in its irregular massing, corner turret, and tall stepped chimneys. Its textured masonry appearance is enhanced by the use of stone trim, cut stone lintels and sills, and richly carved stone details such as column capitals, brackets, and pilaster bases and capitals. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and the Columbus Register of Historic Properties in 1988, reflecting its architectural and historical significance. A gated entry leads to a private drive extending from East Broad Street to East Capital Street, offering both privacy and presence. Entry into the property is through electric gates at both the front and back. This mansion is complemented with a large stone front porch, terracotta carvings, a poured foundation for a garage or carriage house, several outdoor seating areas, and a tree-lined yard with fencing for complete privacy. This distinguished residence features thirteen rooms total with seven bedrooms, two full baths, and three half baths, complemented by grand living spaces and timeless details throughout. Highlights include custom French doors, handmade limestone walls, transom window openers, a walk-up lower-level exterior entry, and generous storage. See A2A for showing instructions
