Park Ave., East (Park Ave., elevations Yes Raney-Dowling House1406 North Park Avenue1874-75Much of the original Italianate character has been obliterated by stucco and later remodeling. The first floor round arch door is not original although some of the cornice detail is. The residence was built by Henry C. Raney, a contractor. Raney erected many of the sturctures in this area, lived in them for a time, and then sold them. His brother, Charles S. Raney, built 1404 North Park next door. Henry Raney lived here only one year before selling the home.From 1912 until 1918, Henry M. Dowling occupied this residence. A lawyer, Dowling (1872-1953) worked as an instructor at the Indiana University School of Law from 1905 to 1942.
