Sylvanus Wade House, Greek Revival stagecoach inn in Greenbush, Wisconsin, United States
The Sylvanus Wade House stands as a three-story wooden structure with clapboard siding, displaying Greek Revival architecture in its symmetrical design and columned entrance.
Built between 1848 and 1851, the house operated as a Half Way House providing lodging for travelers between Fond du Lac and Sheboygan on the Plank Road.
The Wisconsin Historical Society maintains the house as part of a 240-acre museum where staff members wear period clothing to demonstrate 19th-century daily life.
Visitors can explore nine major structures within the site, including the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum, which exhibits a collection of horse-drawn vehicles.
The house transformed from a stagecoach inn to a Methodist church, then a restaurant, before the Kohler Foundation restored it to its Civil War-era appearance.
