Wheel of Fortune, Historic Georgian house near Leipsic, Delaware.
The Wheel of Fortune features a five-bay brick structure with a gable roof, incorporating a two-story rear wing and contributing buildings like a meat house.
Built in the 18th century, this residence belonged to Congressman John A. Nicholson until 1888 and was later purchased by Senator James H. Hughes in 1910.
The Georgian architecture of Wheel of Fortune displays the symmetrical design principles and balanced proportions characteristic of colonial American residential construction.
Located along Delaware Route 9 south of Leipsic, the one-acre property includes documented architectural details through the Historic American Buildings Survey.
The name derives from a land parcel along Muddy Branch, predating John Chance's 1738 acquisition despite local stories connecting it to his surname.
