This year’s show house marks the 62nd time the St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild has hosted the event, which will feature the work of local design firms and landscape companies who have used their talents and creativity to transform the historic Failey House. Construction on the home began in 1927 and was completed a year later. Built by Robert Burnett Failey and Mary Rebecca Parrott Failey, both of Indianapolis and whose families were early settlers of the city, the 6,670-square-foot home was originally built with seven bedrooms, four full bathrooms, three half-bathrooms and an attached three-car-garage.
This year’s show house will benefit the John & Kathy Ackerman Mental Health Professional Development Center at Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center, which aims to build a comprehensive workforce development plan that encompasses all disciplines of mental health care, offering professional experience and support in order to create a talent pipeline from which Eskenazi Health can hire and continue to invest in employees’ growth and development, while increasing the number of mental health providers in the community.
