Wylie House is an example of a restored home, located at 307 E. 2nd Street in Bloomington, Indiana, United States. It was built around 1835 by Andrew Wylie, Indiana University's first president. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building represents a grand-looking mix of Federal and Georgian architectural styles, more often found in southwestern Pennsylvania, where Wylie grew up. The house is one of only a few pre-1840 homes remaining in Bloomington.
Wylie House, which is now a museum, contains a collection of early to mid-19th century American furnishings, including many Wylie family artifacts.
