Built in 1927 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the Robert M. Feustel House is a Tudor Revival residence of irregularly intersecting two-story masses with hip roofs. The home displays characteristic period details including polygonal chimney stacks, half-timbering with herringbone brick infill, and diagonal projections marking the junctures of its wings. Originally commissioned by Robert M. Feustel, a Purdue University graduate who held prominent positions in utilities, railroads, and banking—including directorships at multiple energy companies and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago—the house later served as the residence of Bishop Leo A. Pursley of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend for two decades. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
