About This Home

426 N Main Street

Built in 1884, this historic Queen Anne brick home, known as The Maxam House, is one of Princeton’s oldest brick homes and offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of local history. Located in Princeton’s Central Business District, the home features 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 half bath, and private guest quarters. Enjoy a walkable location with sidewalks leading to the nearby North Gibson School Corporation campus (less than one mile away), as well as convenient access to walking trails, parks, downtown shopping, and dining. Architectural details include impressive 11-foot ceilings on the main level, 10-foot ceilings upstairs, a hand-carved staircase, hardwood flooring, oversized windows, beautiful original woodwork, built-in cabinetry and shelving, and many other period features that showcase the craftsmanship of the late 19th century. A balcony overlooking North Main Street provides a unique place to relax and enjoy views of downtown. According to the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory, the Franklin and Jane Maxam House was built in 1884 by Sanford Howe for his daughter, Jane Howe Maxam, and her husband, Dr. Franklin Maxam. The home remained in the Maxam family for approximately 90 years and was later operated as The Maxam House Bed & Breakfast. Historical artifacts associated with the Maxam family are included with the sale. While the property would benefit from renovation and restoration, it presents an exceptional opportunity to preserve and personalize one of Princeton’s most significant historic residences. A detached one-car garage adds everyday convenience as this landmark property awaits its next steward. Home Warranty from 2-10 available with purchase.
