Hawkeye, the Wheeler-Stokely Mansion in Indianapolis.

Rubrost was the home of Lewis David Hurley, an early automobile industrialist. Built in 1913, the mansion was constructed of beige stone, featuring russet brick accents with a green roof and trim. It is a stunning example of the Prairie Style, located in what was once the outskirts of the city. The numerous porches once offered splendid views of the surrounding country side.

The interior is dominated by the dark and masculine rooms preferred by Mr. Hurley. It boasts a wonderful master suite with a sleeping porch. There are three more bedrooms for family and guests. Three additional bedrooms are reserved for the staff, which, along with the kitchen, are noticeably brighter. In total, there are six full bathrooms and two half-baths.

Creator's Note
Hawkeye, the mansion of Frank Wheeler, a co-founder of the Indianapolis 500, was my inspiration. The exterior shape is quite similar, but while I have been inside the neighboring Allison Mansion extensively, I have only once briefly been in the Wheeler Mansion. So without any knowledge of the floor plans and layout, this is by no means a recreation.
Lot Size: 6x6
Lot Price: 409,846

About Me
I didn't do much in 2018. Maybe this year will be better. I have a huge backlog of things I could upload. Who knows! My time management is currently, theoretically rated as -Please see me after class- if I had turned something in to start with.
It seems I have terrible motivation for requests. Sorry about that. But if you wave ideas and photos at me with enough coughs and elbow nudges, I might get a lot out in a few years...
I don't really have strict usage policy, but please don't upload my lots themselves to the Exchange. Though if you'd like to use any of my lots in a world you've created, and want to upload the world to the Exchange, that's fine. Just toss me some credit, and it'll all be good. Throwing me a link to how you've used any of my stuff would also be appreciated. :D
