About This Home

1217 E Spring Street

Discover a Living Legacy in New Albany! Presenting the Alexander Dowling Home, a heritage-rich Italianate gem nestled at 1217 E. Spring Street in New Albany’s esteemed East Spring Street Historic District—Listed on the Historic Registry. A Historic Beacon of Legal Distinction originally owned by Alexander Dowling, an esteemed justice of the Indiana Supreme Court (1899–1905), this residence symbolizes legal prestige and local legacy. Dowling played pivotal roles in New Albany as a prosecuting attorney, city attorney, founder and president of the Mutual Trust and Deposit Company, and long-serving bank director. Architectural Grandeur & Timeless Style crafted in the Italianate style circa 1870, the home features hallmark characteristics—tall, narrow windows, intricate cornices, and a gracious, vertical elegance. An 1888 addition adds both charm and architectural depth to the structure. Its preservation as part of a historic district ensures its architectural integrity continues to shine. The home can be restored to it's original brilliance of a grandiose home or divided into multiple living spaces. This home also falls within proximity to the broader New Albany Downtown Historic District and many businesses. Seller is open to owner financing terms and/or a purchase contract as well. Driveway next door is part of the lot.
