("Toddy") who died in 1857, they moved into the city of Indianapolis. In 1858 he and two other men established Western Commercial Nurseries. In 1868 he purchased land in Owen County where he built Ludlow Hall. Today the area would equal 6 city blocks. At the turn of the 20th century he sold the estate to E. Chubb Fuller, publisher of the Agriculturalist Epitomist. Fuller moved the Epitomist to Ludlow Hall. Thinking they would move to southern California, the family bought 4000 acres in 1872 there, but later decided they preferred Europe, where they spent considerable time. Living beyond their means led to insolvency in the late 1890s.
