Together with his brother, Dr. Madison Harrell, he established the Harrell Hospital, the first in the County, in 1908. The hospital was sold to Hamilton County in 1915 and used for a County Hospital. Harrell is credited with performing one of the first blood transfusions in the state. He also served several terms as president of the Indiana Institute of Homeopathy.
Dr. Harrell provided emergency treatment in the parlor of the house, with patients entering through the porte-cochere entrance (which still displays the doctor's name in the stained glass). The house exhibits the typical features of the Queen Anne style, including the complex massing and roof, a polygonal tower, patterned slate roof and cresting, corbeled chimneys, and stained glass. Inside the house are elaborately carved oak woodwork and molded plaster ceilings. …
Samuel Harrell died in 1931, but the house remained in the family until 1970.
