two-story residence contributed an additional $1,600 of his own funds to pay for the house, which had a total estimated cost at the time of $2,200. When completed in 1827, Richardville House in Fort Wayne, Indiana, became the first documented Greek Revival-style I-house in northeastern Indiana. The home is also one of the few surviving treaty houses in the eastern United States that is still standing on its original site. The house served as Richardville's primary residence until his death in 1841 and remained in the family until 1894, when it was acquired by a gravel company that mined all but approximately of land surrounding the house. In 1991, the Allen County–Fort Wayne Historical Society acquired the house and restored its exterior. The society opens the house monthly during the summer season for visitors, and operates a variety of programs on Miami history at the site. In 2012 the U.S. Department of the Interior designated the home as a National Historic Landmark. Chief Richardville House and Miami Treaty Grounds The Chief Richardville House and Miami Treaty Grounds are part of the Forks of the Wabash historic park along the Wabash River, west of Huntington in Huntington County, Indiana. Richardville moved the Miami council house (tribal headquarters) from Fort Wayne to the Miami reserve land at the Forks of the Wabash in 1831. As part of the provisions of a treaty with the Miamis in 1834, the land grant at the Forks of the Wabash was converted to a fee simple title in Richardville's name. A treaty at the Forks of the Wabash was signed at this site in 1838, as well as the Treaty of the Wabash (1840). Sources disagree on whether the home at the Forks of the Wabash was built by and for Richardville or his son-in-law, Francis LaFontaine. While it is likely that Richardville stayed on the Forks of the Wabash property during treaty negotiations, some have argued that the Greek Revival-style home was built in 1843–44, two or three years after Richarville's death. The home was later restored to its 1846 appearance. The property at the Forks of the Wabash was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Honors and tributes Richardville County, Indiana, was named in honor of Chief Richardville and was later renamed Howard County. Wildcat Creek (Indiana), whose watershed encompasses Howard and another Indiana county, was named for Richardville. The
