The Thomas Elwood Lindley House is a historic Greek Revival home in Paoli Township, Orange County, Indiana. It sits on about 1.5 acres along Willow Creek Road. The house was built on land granted in 1812 to Jonathan Lindley, who left North Carolina to settle in Indiana. Jonathan, a respected Quaker, also served in the Indiana State Legislature at Corydon. He was the grandfather of Thomas Elwood Lindley. The property remained in the Lindley family until 1974, when great-great-grandson H. Carl Thompson and his wife Dorothy Farlow Thompson deeded it to the Orange County Historical Society. The house has been restored to reflect the 1850–1869 period, when it operated as a farm home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985.
