Wedding House

98 Main Street East, Kingsville Ontario N9Y 1A4

Description

The Wedding House was constructed in 1905 in the Queen Anne Revival style. It remains structurally unchanged from its original construction.  The house was built by Frances and Reuben Wright as their retirement home.  Since September 1905 the home has been a prominent location for wedding photographs as the fish-scale trim around the top of the porch resembles the icing on a wedding cake.  The house has also been called the “Wedding Cake House”.  The tradition began in 1905 when the local newspaper ran a photo of the home owner’s daughter and her groom on the porch after their nuptials in the parlour.

Key heritage attributes include:
Decorative “gingerbread” wood scroll work in the peaks
Circular open porch
Quarter sawn oak throughout the interior
Pine plank flooring
Four original solid oak pocket doors
The original oak staircase and built-in solid oak cupboards
