Devenish-Haigh House, 108 East Third, Madison, Jefferson County, IN
Summary
Significance: This simple Greek Revival house features pediment-like stone lintels and two iron benches fixed to the front wall and stone steps of the home. It is believed that the home has undergone two building periods: the rear wing is believed to have been constructed between 1837-1839 for Solomon Devenish, a merchant-tailor, while the front portion was constructed in 1852-1853 for William H. Fry, a Madison ironware dealer. Descendants of Fry have been in possession of the home to this day.
