Erastus Farnham House (Q104860165)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Erastus Farnham House is located just south of Fremont, Indiana, on Indiana State Road 827 and was built in 1847 - 1849 by Erastus Farnham. A staunch abolitionist and one of the local Underground Railroad leaders, Farnham designed this home in part to be used as a stop on the Underground Railroad. The home still retains many of its nineteenth-century features including a cupola that served as a lookout point and an internal cistern, which allowed the owners to capture and store rainwater. "This extra water allowed the house to support additional guests when necessary without raising suspicion." The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.
