Built in 1854 near Garrett in DeKalb County, Indiana, the William Fountain House is a two-story Greek Revival frame dwelling distinguished by its five-bay façade and refined classical detailing. Unfluted Doric corner pilasters and a wide frieze ornament the structure, hallmarks of the Greek Revival style popular in mid-nineteenth-century America. The house was built for William Fountain, an English émigré from Lincolnshire who had arrived in the county six years earlier in 1848. It was recognized for its historical significance and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
