About this home

Located just two blocks from the Courthouse Square in downtown Bloomington, this iconic 1895 Victorian landmark-known as the Batman House-was built by John Waldron, Sr. as a wedding gift for his daughter and son-in-law, Ira C. Batman. Designed by architect John Nichols, the home blends French Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Romanesque Revival styles and features an extraordinary use of Indiana limestone from top to bottom. Listed in Bloomington's West Side National Register Historic District, this architectural gem offers approx. 4,000 sq ft of finished space on the main levels plus a usable attic and lower level, totaling 7,500-8,000 sq ft. Extensive structural work has reinforced the foundation for long-term stability. Rich in Bloomington history, this is one of the city's most distinctive privately owned historic residences-beautifully preserved and ready for its next chapter. This historically important Victorian masterpiece was home to the Garret Antique Shop opened in 1976.
