Levi Wickham House
203 South Braddock Street
John Chesson
Site of the Preview Party, Saturday, December 3, 6-9 p.m.
This limestone house may be approaching two hundred years old, but it has been updated with modern sensibilities in mind. Levi Wickham, a weaver, built this home and the adjoining Samuel Noakes House circa 1818-1823. From William Greenway Russell’s recollections of Winchester, Wickham relocated his home to 203 South Braddock and his shop into 201 South Braddock shortly before moving to Wheeling, West Virginia prior to 1830.
While the exterior maintains its appearance as a Federal-style residence, the interior has been updated with modern amenities for an artist’s loft studio. The historic windows feature acoustic panels by Indow Window to minimize noise intrusion. While the front sitting room is cozy with traditional club chairs and a sofa upholstered in sea-foam velvet, the primary living area is spacious and light-filled thanks to an array of south-facing windows and Velux skylight. The architect-designed open floor plan encompasses a dining area with seating for six, a modern kitchen featuring a spacious granite countertop, and a two-story vaulted sitting area.
Join us at the Wickham House on Saturday evening from 6-9 p.m. to attend the Preview Party for light refreshments and drinks. The Wickham House is also open for Daylight Tours on Sunday, December 4 between 1-5 p.m.
