Wabash Valley Trust
 206 Railroad Street, Battle Ground, Indiana

Shoup—Scowden House
built 1886 — Wabash Valley Trust Plaque awarded in 2010 — Second Empire style

The mansard roof, the major defining element of the Second Empire style, is a dual-pitched hipped roof. In addition to a mansard roof, the Second Empire style is characterized by lavish ornamentation and boldness of form. The roof ridges were decorated with cast iron cresting. The Second Empire style was well suited to the flamboyant post-Civil War and post-railroad era when ostentation and excessiveness of taste was not at all discouraged! In the 1950s this home served as the Melvin Jackson Funeral Home and later it was used as a floral shop known as McKinney’s Floral Shop. The home at one time had a green house located on the south side of the house. The house fell into disrepair in the 1990s and was acquired by the Trust for rehab in its affordable housing program.
