Andrew Wylie, IU’s first president, designed and lived in the 19th-century home on East Second Street in Bloomington (pictured above at Wylie House at Lamplight Dec. 7). The house is a blend of Federal and Georgian styles, rare in the Hoosier state even in Wylie’s time, and now functions as Monroe County’s only historic house museum.
