Regarding Ulen Country Club and The Town of Ulen, Indiana. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The district is an upscale residential enclave next to the Ulen Country Club and golf course, both of which are part of the district. The country club and first nine holes of the golf course were constructed in 1924 and the course assumed its present form in 1927. They are adjacent to the west of the Town of Ulen and the course stretches north of the towns limits. Ulen was officially platted in 1929, although houses were constructed here as early as 1924, previous to the town being laid out but following the opening of the country club. Both the town and the club owe existence to HenryC. Ulen, owner of an engineering firm that brought water and transportation to large parts of Europe and South America. The Ulen Country Club and the houses in Ulen were constructed beginning in 1924 to the 2000s; the majority of houses here were constructed between 1930 and 1963. Styles range from Tudor Revival, to other revival styles to RanchPhotographed by Duane and Tracy Marsteller, June 15, 20242.

4. Artman House (1928)
Samuel R. Artman, a prominent attorney and judge in Lebanon, built the only house on Artman Avenue. His 1907 ruling that the state of Indiana lacked authority to license saloons won him national prominence, especially in the temperance movement. He died just two years after building this house, from injuries sustained in a fall off its roof.
