[edit]Alexander M. Hannah bought the materials to construct a house in November 1858, using $585 worth of brick.[2]: 4 Hannah had moved from California to his home state of Indiana after making substantial money from the California gold rush. The house was built in 1859 on 240 acres (97 ha) of farmland purchased from his father, Samuel Hannah.[3] He added a smokehouse, milk cooling room, staff quarters, and a wash house to the property following his marriage to Elizabeth Jackson in 1872.[4]
