The John W. Boehne Home is a Neo-Classical Revival mansion built in 1912 and designed by architect Clifford Shopbell. John W. Boehne, who lived from 1856 to 1946, was an Evansville councilman, mayor, and US Congressman. Under his administration, the Water Works and Filtration Plant were built, and Boehne Camp Hospital was named for him. He also owned Indiana Stove Works. In 1991, the mansion, known as "Monticello," became the home of Rose Maries, founded in 1958 by Rose Marie (Kollker) and Leo Hillenbrand, parents of owner Bill Hillenbrand. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
