After practicing in New York City for a time he returned to Indianapolis in 1899 and became involved in several law partnerships over the years with his father. He also served as Director of Fletcher Trust Co., and was active in the James Whitcomb Riley Association. He left the home about 1917, and moved to 1221 N.

He began his career as bricklayer and later formed Moynahan Construction Company, which built several prominent structures, including the Union Title and Chamber of Commerce Buildings, as well as the interior of the World War Memorial.

Here this was done by removing the Italianate brackets, shingling the frieze area of the cornice and adding a rounded turret. Note that the original frieze windows were retained and re-used in the bowed portion of the cornice. Built by Frank Kennedy, both these homes served as rental units for several years.,In 1892, this house became the residence of Daniel D. Brosnan. Together with his brother John, who lived next door, he established Brosnan Brothers, a dry goods firm. He later organized Brosnan Suit & Cloak Company, which for many years was located in the Claypool Hotel. After retiring from this line of business, he took an interest in real estate. Active in both civic and religious affairs, he was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Knights of Columbus. The Brosnan family is listed at this address until 1947.Old Northside Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1979 single-family dwelling
