Breezedale

Breezedale, also known as the Sutton-Elkin House, is a historic home located on the campus of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Built between 1865 and 1868 in a Late Victorian-Italianate style, it features a classic portico and cupola. Originally constructed by local businessman John Sutton, the house later became home to John Pratt Elkin, a notable lawyer and Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice. Since joining the university in the early 20th century, Breezedale has served various purposes, including a dormitory and classroom space. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and currently houses the Breezedale Alumni Center, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers.
