The Ball Mansion sits on a hill in the Ninth Street Hill Neighborhood Historic District in Lafayette, Indiana. The two-story brick mansion was built in 1868 by Cyrus Ball. He was a local businessman and layer that was elected one of the three associate Judges for the district in 1840. He was also the collector of tolls for the Wabash and Erie Canal. Ball died in 1893 but this magnificent house still stands with the three story tower looking over the city where he lived and worked. The house is a private residence but it is impressive to see from the road.
