Description


Wickham House

The Wickham House, also known as the Wickham-Valentine House or the Valentine Museum, in Richmond, Virginia, was completed in 1812 and is considered one of the finest examples of architecture from the Federal period. It was built by John Wickham and designed by Massachusetts architect Alexander Parris. Wickham was a successful attorney who defended Vice President Aaron Burr during his trial for treason. The house features a magnificent elliptical staircase and neoclassical wallpaintings with ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian themes.
