Architecture
The William H. Wells House is a two-and-one-half-story Romanesque Revival mansion, built of coursed, rock-face stone.[2] The house is built on an irregular plan with an asymmetrical, picturesque composition.[2] The entrance is within a projection, and a turret with a concave conical roof at one corner sits at one corner of the house.[2] Other bays project randomly from the main structure. A 1 1⁄2-story carriage house in red brick and clapboard was built at the rear of the house in 1891.[2]
The house is significant as an outstanding example of Romanesque residential architecture in Detroit and for its association with architect William Henry Miller.
