The 2024 St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild Decorators’ Show House and Gardens, the longest running decorator show house event in the nation, will once again welcome the public to tour a classic Indianapolis home with proceeds benefiting Eskenazi Health. This year’s residence, the Sylvan House, is located at 4521 Sylvan Rd.

The annual event runs from Saturday, April 27, through Sunday, May 12. Hours are 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; and from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The show house is closed on Mondays. Tickets can be purchased at www.showhouseindy.org. Parking is available at the Indy Cycloplex, located at 3649 Cold Spring Rd., with shuttle service to the show house.

This year’s show house marks the 63rd time the St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild has hosted the event, which will feature the work of local design firms and landscape companies who have used their talents and creativity to transform the historic Sylvan House. Built in 1927, the three-level home boasts 5,953 square feet of living space with another 2,720 square feet of basement space. The two-story formal entrance is made of Indiana limestone, and a large winding staircase leads to the home's second floor.

Since 1907, St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild has been a key partner in supporting Eskenazi Health’s mission and has raised more than $14 million to support the work of Eskenazi Health. This generous 

philanthropic support has benefited Eskenazi Health patients directly through a variety of programs and services. The dedicated members of the Guild work tirelessly and enthusiastically through the Decorators’ Show House and Gardens and many other initiatives for the benefit of Eskenazi Health’s patients and its mission.

This year’s show house will benefit the John & Kathy Ackerman Mental Health Professional Development Center at Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center, which aims to build a comprehensive workforce development program that encompasses all disciplines of mental health care, offering professional experience and support in order to create a talent pipeline from which Eskenazi Health can hire and continue to invest in employees’ growth and development, while increasing the number of mental health providers in the community.
