The gracious Victorian in the heart of the village was brand-new when President-elect Abraham Lincoln gave a “whistle-stop” speech directly across the street in what is now Lincoln Park. At the time, Zionsville’s population was less than 400. Odds are good that the owners listened from their wraparound porch. In the many years since, the home has been modernized with an open-concept floor plan, bathroom upgrades, the addition of a gym in the basement, and more. Charming hints to the home’s age remain, though, in features like the gingerbread trim.
