2. Preserving Crawford County’s William Proctor House. Indiana Landmarks website entry:
By 1832, Proctor had become a prosperous businessman, and the home he built for his family proclaimed his status. Constructed from bricks produced on site, the house was an elegant departure in a settler community of simple log structures. When Proctor became postmaster for the small community, his home served both as post office and as a stagecoach stop on the route between Leavenworth and Indianapolis.(Submitted on March 17, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
