David Enoch Beem House, also known as the "Beem Mansion" and "The Hill", is a historic home located in Spencer, Owen County, Indiana. Built in 1874, the large, two-story, Italianate-style residence is named after its original owner, David Enoch Beem, a local lawyer and banker, and his family. The T-plan, brick dwelling rests on a rusticated Indiana limestone foundation and arched openings framed in limestone. It features a three-story, central tower at the entrance with a steeply pitched mansard roof.[2][3] The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
