David Ralston House

David Ralston House



The Ralston House on 41 South 6th Street is a rather unassuming building, and was difficult to spot initially.  It is now partially an insurance company, while the rest of the building appears to be an apartment complex. It is interesting to think about how this place was once the residence of a notorious pro-slavery man, who would eventually be stopped by a mob of Indiana citizens and Judge Thomas White from detaining fugitive slave Anthony Hollingsworth.
