INDIANAPOLIS — This year’s St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild Decorators’ Show House and Gardens will once again allow the public to tour a classic Butler-Tarkington home with proceeds benefiting Eskenazi Health. This year’s residence is located at 4140 N. Illinois St. at the historic Wainwright-Cochran House.
Proceeds from the show house will benefit nursing at Eskenazi Health. The annual event runs from April 28 – May 13 (closed Mondays). Daily tours are open to the public from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Tues. through Sun. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.showhouseindy.org for $20. At the door, guests 65 and older can purchase tickets for $18 and children 3 to 12 for $5. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased at select Meijer stores for $18 through April 27. Special group rates are also available. In addition to the daily tours, there are many special events to enjoy. Free parking is available on nearby city streets.
Interior designers and landscapers have been hard at work since February restoring and renovating the historic house. The Tudor Revival residence was built in 1925 by Guy and Jeanette Wainwright. The house was later purchased by Richard and Jessie Cochran. It is now owned by her son and his wife Donald and Clare Acheson.
From its beginning in 1907, the guild has raised more than $13 million to support the work of Eskenazi Health. This generous philanthropic support has benefited Eskenazi Health patients directly through programs and services. This year, the guild is raising proceeds to benefit nursing at Eskenazi Health.
This year’s show house marks the 57th time the guild has hosted the event, which will feature more than 50 area designers and landscapers using their talent and creativity to transform the historic Wainwright-Cochran House. For additional information, please visit www.showhouseindy.org.
