Lew Wallace was a Civil War general, governor of the New Mexico Territory, and minister to the Ottoman Empire, and he is best known for writing Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. He used this building as his study from 1895 until his death in 1905. Wallace designed it himself, and it is now a museum.[47] Photo: Chris Light ( talk ), CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lew_Wallace_Library_Crawfordsville_Indiana.jpg)
