Close-up view of the Rapp-Maclure-Owen home in snow, at the corner of Main St. and Church St. Today this is surrounded by a brick wall and thus is less visible.""Father Rapp's house (c. 1817-1818) much the same size as Dormitory no. 2, was destroyed by fire in 1844. Only a portion of the stone cellar and original foundation remains. A visitor in 1818 described the house as ""a handsoime brick building where Rapp held a concert once a week." The mansion was sixty feet square and four stories tall with a twenty foot, one-story kitchen on the northwest corner. Each floor contained two long halls running east to west. When Hamonie was sold in 1825, William Maclure became owner and occupant. He was joined there by his two brothers and two sisters. In 1826 one of Maclure's several schools was established in the house, conducted by Mme. Fretageot with her puils who came with her from Philadelphia. In 1831 scientist Thomas Say and his artist wife Lucy Sistaire Say lived in the house. After the house burned in 1844 it was rebuilt by Maclure's brother Alexander in a one-story Greek revival style. In 1850, when Maclure willed the house to Lucy Sistaire Say, she sold it to David Dale Owen. In 1901 the house was sold to the owner of the New Harmony mill. Kenneth Dale Owen, great great grandson of Richard Dale Owen, bought it back into the Owen family in 1948. Restoration was completed in 1990." (Walker, Janet R.
