Their son, Johann Paul Dreiser Jr., who later changed his name to Paul Dresser, was born in the house on April 22, 1858.[5] Dresser's father built the porch for the brick house, which originally consisted of one bedroom, a lean-to kitchen, and a parlor.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} In 1863 Dresser's father sold the home and moved the family to Sullivan, Indiana. By 1871 they had returned to Terre Haute, but Dresser did not stay in town for long.[6][7] Dresser left home at the age of sixteen and became "one of the most important composers of the 1890s".[3] Dresser toured the country as a vaudeville entertainer, then moved to New York City, where he was also involved in music publishing.[3] Dresser returned to Terre Haute only for brief visits and public performances.[8][9][10] Originally, the house was located at 318 South Second Street in Terre Haute. During the 1960s, when urban renewal threatened its demolition, the Vigo County Historical Society raised funds purchase the building, saving it from destruction, and relocated it to the southeast corner of Fairbanks Park.[11] Altered over the years, the building consists of two floors. The first floor has a bedroom, a kitchen, and a parlor. The second floor has two bedrooms that are accessible by an outside staircase.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} The Vigo County Historical Society operates the home as a museum, open by appointment.[11][12] Artifacts pertaining to Dresser include a Chickering piano that he used to write songs and a portrait of Dresser painted during the height of his career.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Unlike other house museums, Dresser's birthplace reflects the furnishings of a working-class family, not the well-to-do.[9][13] In 1967 the Indiana General Assembly designated the home as a state shrine and memorial.[3] That same year the National Music Council listed it as "A Landmark of American Music".[3][9] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[2] Terre Haute's Fairbanks Park also includes a local Girl Scout office and a Terre Haute parks department office.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} In 1923 the Banks-of-the-Wabash Association officially named Paul Dresser Drive, the park's main road, in the songwriter's honor.[3][9] GalleryReferences1. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web| title=National Register of Historic Places State Listings | publisher=National Park Service| location=Washington, D.C.| date= | url=http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/in/Vigo/state.html| accessdate=2013-02-06}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Paul Dresser|publisher =Songwriters Hall of Fame Virtual Museum | url = http://www.songwritershalloffame.org/exhibits/C340|format=|accessdate =2013-02-06}} 4. ^{{cite web| title =Indiana State Song| publisher =Indiana Historical Society| location =Indianapolis| date =| url =http://www.indianahistory.org/teachers-students/hoosier-facts-fun/fun-facts/indiana-state-song| format =| accessdate =2013-02-06| deadurl =yes| archiveurl =https://web.archive.org/web/20130608204427/http://www.indianahistory.org/teachers-students/hoosier-facts-fun/fun-facts/indiana-state-song| archivedate =2013-06-08| df =}} 5. ^{{cite book | title=On the Banks of the Wabash: The Life and Music of Paul Dresser | author=Henderson, Clayton W. | year=2003 | page=8 | location=Indianapolis | publisher=Indiana Historical Society Press | isbn=0-87195-166-5}} 6. ^Henderson, On the Banks of the Wabash, p. 9 and 23. 7. ^In addition to Terre Haute and the Sullivan area, Dresser lived for a brief time in Brazil, Indianapolis, and Evansville, Indiana.
