It was inherited by his daughter Sophia Springhorn (1873-1931), wife of William Springhorn (1858 -1922), a German immigrant watchmaker. Sophia and William were married in 1908. William is listed as the occupant of the house in 1903. Simon probably built the house around 1870. Sophia was a student at the German-English Independent School. <br>This two-story frame, cross-gable house had its doors and windows replaced during renovation in 1981, at which time the corner porch was reconstructed. The walls are clad with artificial hardboard siding. <br>-From Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987 |
