Wakefield House

Home to W.J.C. Wakefield, a prominent local attorney, this home is an excellent example of the Mission Revival style. This house was designed by local architect Kirtland Cutter, who also designed the Tudor Revival Campbell House and Neoclassical Finch Mansion which flank the Wakefield House. Constructed near the end of the 19th century in 1896, the Wakefield house is one of the multiple lavish homes built along west 1st Avenue in this period. With windows featuring a distinctive curved cross pattern, sun porches and it’s red tile roof, the home stands out among the surrounding residences.
