About 6445 W Maple Grove Rd
Step into a living piece of Indiana history. Construction of this limestone estate began in 1862 but was slowed by the Civil War-making its completion in the late 1870s not just a feat of architecture, but a reflection of the resilience and vision of its builder, John Matthews. Known as the Father of the Indiana Limestone Industry, Matthews poured his pioneering spirit into this French Second Empire masterpiece, now known as the Matthews Mansion. Perched on 2.76 peaceful acres just outside Bloomington, this home is said by family legend to have been inspired by renowned French architect Charles Garnier, designer of the Paris Opera House. Whether fact or folklore, the influence is clear: from the 22-inch-thick hand-carved limestone walls and mansard slate roof to the intricate iron cresting and 45-foot limestone veranda adorned with carved faces believed to represent Matthews' children. Inside, the legacy continues with soaring 12-foot ceilings, original black walnut trim, three functional fireplaces (including the original kitchen hearth), etched red and blue glass transoms, and plaster details that speak to a level of craftsmanship nearly lost to time. Thoughtful updates bring modern ease-soapstone countertops, smart home tech, updated mechanicals-while honoring the home's character. The property also includes a hidden bookshelf wine cellar, spa-inspired marble primary bath, custom closets, a barnwood garage, limestone firepit, and extensive restoration that has preserved both structure and soul. With only four owners since 1955, and a preserved archive of photos and lore passed between them, this is more than a home-it's a generational story of artistry, ambition, and Indiana's industrial heritage.
