Wigle-Webb House

90 Main Streeet East, Kingsville Ontario N9Y 1G2

Description

The Wigle-Webb House is a 2-storey house constructed in 1886 in the Gothic Revival style.  The building’s historical value lies in its association with Jacob Wigle and William Morton Webb.  Wigle was a successful farmer and municipal politician during the Fenian Raids who guarded the shore of Lake Erie from the threat of invading Americans.  He placed a white stone in the southwest corner of the front yard from his farmland because he believed it resembled the profile of John A. MacDonald.  The property was later home to William Morton Webb, the Town’s mayor in 1922.  He was the district engineer during the building of Highway 3.

Key heritage attributes include:
Decorative brickwork including sawtooth designs
One-over-one flattened arch windows, and gingerbreading including ornamented vergeboards, cornices and carved corbels
Hood moulds over the windows and bullnose corners
A sweeping staircase with turned, buttoned balusters
Original hardware on interior doors, 5-panelled interior doors
Butler staircase
Hardwood flooring
