Grisamore House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grisamore House was built by two brothers from Philadelphia, David and Wilson Grisamore, in 1837. It was designed from elements of both Federal and Greek style to build this two-story brick structure, originally intended to be a row house. It has housed several Jeffersonville families of importance. Future president William Henry Harrison gave a speech on the front porch in 1840 while campaigning to become president.
In the 1930's it was the Decker Art Studio
It suffered fire damage in 1981, but was saved from destruction by the Jeff-Clark Preservation, Inc. In 1983 it was added to National Register of Historic Places. It is now part of the Old Jeffersonville Historic District, and houses private businesses. The Historic Landmarks of Indiana association has its Southern Indiana office here.
