Architecture
Alexander and Rosemary (Ball) Bracken hired respected Lafayette architect, Walter Scholer to design the house. The home was built in the Georgian Revival style. Construction took almost two years, being completed in 1937. It was donated to Ball State by the Brackens in 1998. That same year the University refurbished the home with help from, Scholer Corporation, the successor to the original architecture firm. Only limited renovations were needed to update the home for its current purpose.
