Wey
Mansion Recognized for both its interior and exterior, Wey Mansion, built in 1909, is an example of early 20th century upper-class housing and is possibly the most ornate residential architecture in the city. The Neoclassical Revival style home was built in a mixture of post-Victorian era inspired designs popular at the time: including Queen Anne and Second Empire - known for its uniquely shaped roof dormers. |
| The home also features Neoclassical Grecian columns with capitals of the Corinthian order and pedimented gable ends. On the southeast side of the mansion is a curvilinear porch with double columns, on the east side a curvilinear dormer, also on the east and south sides the entablature has fine dentils and large ornamental consoles. Upper and lower level porches are also utilized. Mr. Herman Wey was a retired hardware and implement salesman. The home remained in the Wey family until 1968. |
