What a bathroom remodeling project looks like here

Herron-Morton Place is named for Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton (Civil War-era) and the John Herron Art Institute (founded 1902) — IHPC-designated in 1986.

The neighborhood holds one of the largest concentrations of 1880-1920 Italianate and Queen Anne mansions in the Midwest, with original cast-stone trim, slate roofing, and leaded-glass details.

IHPC review on Herron-Morton mansions can extend to lighting fixtures, fence height, mailbox style, and exterior paint color — homeowners typically budget 3-6 months of preservation review on top of DBNS permit timing.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
