Pictures

The home of John Whitcomb Riley in Indianapolis, IN. He lived here for the last 23 years of his life, 
as a permanent houseguest of Charles and Magdalena Holstein. The house is now a museum
with Riley's second-floor bedroom completely intact as he left it. A personally guided tour 
is offered for a nominal fee, and proceeds go to the Riley Children's Foundation.
