Wickham House, Federal period mansion in Richmond, United States
The Wickham House features a two-story brick structure with a shallow hip roof, stucco-finished walls, and a central entrance with flanking sidelights.
Attorney John Wickham commissioned architect Alexander Parris to design this residence in 1812, gaining prominence during the defense of Aaron Burr's treason trial.
The interior walls display neoclassical paintings incorporating themes from ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian civilizations, reflecting early American artistic preferences.
The Valentine Museum maintains and operates the Wickham House, offering guided tours from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
Mann Valentine II transformed the residence into Richmond's first museum in 1898, establishing a collection of Native American artifacts within its walls.
