Herman Lieber was a civic leader and co-founder of The Athenaeum, a grand German Renaissance Revival building constructed in 1898 as a home for the Sozialer Turnverein and other liberal German societies of Indianapolis. Lieber built the cottage on Park Avenue in 1860, and it was purchased in 1868 by Capt. William Tarkington, brother of author Booth Tarkington’s grandfather and secretary to Gov. Oliver P. Morton.
