building, Thomas Say gravesite a contributing
site.
Wall built c. 1940-1960.
c.l 844 one-story, brick Greek Revival style residence. The eight Doric styled columns of the porch support a
delicate classical entablature. The plain lintels above each twelve-over-twelve window also define the Greek
Revival character. This property also includes a brick summer kitchen, footprint rock and the grave of Thomas
Say. Say, a long time resident of New Harmony, was buried here in 1843. A naturalist and conchologist, he is
also known as "The Father of American Entomology." It was he who invested Maclure's funds to develop the
Workingmen's Institute after Maclure went to Mexico." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
