FISHERS, Ind. -- A historic house in Fishers, Indiana will become the centerpiece of a new roundabout near the growing retail space of the city.
The City of Fishers plans to buy the Morris-Flanagan-Kincaid House from Nickel Plate Arts this summer. The city will then move it to a new location on USA Parkway, near the Portillo's, IKEA, and The Yard district.
The house was built in 1861 by the Peter Flanagan family. It has also been owned by the founders of LE Kincaid & Sons Meat Market and General Thomas Armstrong Morris, a figure in creating the state's railroad system, canal system, and state capital.
"For years, Hamilton County Tourism has attempted to find possible uses for the house that would fit both the City’s master plan and be viable for sustaining the property,” said Brenda Myers, president and CEO of Hamilton County Tourism. “We are delighted Fishers has come up with such a creative way to share the area’s history through the house as public art.”
Fishers has not said when the roundabout will be constructed.
