White County Asylum, also known as the Lakeview Home, was a historic county home located at Union Township, White County, Indiana. The main building was built in 1907–1908, and was a large four-level, Richardsonian Romanesque style brick building with limestone and brick trim. It consisted of a central administrative section flanked by residential wings. The building featured a high hipped roof. Also on the property is a contributing gable roofed barn (1908). The property is a contributing site.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1] The building was demolished in 2017, and it was delisted in 2019.
