Isaac Cappon House, Italianate residence in Holland, United States.
Description
The Isaac Cappon House is an Italianate-style residence on West 9th Street in Holland, Michigan, built with a T-shaped floor plan, hipped roof, and central cupola. The structure rests on a rubble foundation, and its interior rooms have been carefully restored to reflect their original appearance.
History
The house was built in 1874 after a forest fire destroyed the original structure, and it belonged to Isaac Cappon, Holland's first mayor. Cappon founded the Cappon and Bertsch Leather Company, which shaped the town's economy.
Culture
The restored rooms show how a prominent Dutch-American family lived around 1900, with furnishings and objects from their daily life on display. The arrangement gives you a sense of the household's habits and social standing at that time.
Practical
The ground floor is accessible through the back entrance for visitors with mobility needs, while the second floor is documented through photographs. Plan your visit by checking ahead for current opening information and tour options available.
Did you know?
The house was rebuilt after the devastating forest fire of 1871 that destroyed Holland's original settlement and forced the town to be rebuilt from the ground up. The Cappon family played a leading role in this reconstruction effort.
