The Otto Carmichael House, also known as the Mary Louise Farm, is a historic home in Muncie, Indiana, combining Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival design elements. Originally built in 1875 and substantially enlarged and remodeled in 1929, the brick and frame dwelling rises 2½ stories and features steeply pitched gable roofs characteristic of its blended architectural style. Once part of a larger farm complex that included barns, a log cabin, and flower gardens, the house remains the sole surviving structure from the property after surrounding areas were redeveloped into a shopping plaza. Named for prominent journalist and civic leader Otto Carmichael—a founding member of the National Press Club who worked as a correspondent for major national newspapers—the house reflects the success and civic investments of the Carmichael family in Muncie. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
