Ordinance 21-32

This ordinance amends Chapter 8.20 of the Bloomington Municipal Code entitled "List of Designated Historic and Conservation Districts" in order to designate "The Thomas Smith House", parcel number 53-08-03-400-008.001-009, located at 1326 South Pickwick Place, City of Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana, as a historic district. Built in 1828, The Thomas Smith House is one the earliest examples of the I-House form in Bloomington. The home is only one of a handful of Covenanter brick farmhouses from the early settlement period of Bloomington that still stand and it maintains a high level of historic integrity due to the unaltered state of the original portion of the house. The house is associated with Thomas Smith, a member of the early Covenanter Church in Bloomington, a philanthropist, and a purported conductor on the Underground Railroad.
