Griffin family members sit in front of the Porter-Griffin house
| Description: |
Members of the Griffin family relax in front of their two-story brick home on East Walnut Street in Corydon, Indiana on a summers day ca. 1908. Left to right are Helen Porter Griffin and her daughter Mary Jane (Jennie), her son Maurice Griffin, and her husband, Patrick Griffin. John Henry, the family dog, sits on the cellar door between them. The two-story brick dwelling was built in 1817 and served as the residence and headquarters of Governor William Hendricks from 1822 to 1825. From 1841 through 1975 it was home to three generations of the Porter and Griffin families. The State of Indiana now owns the property, which is open to the public as a historic site. |
