Cyril & Ruth Clupper House

541 North Miami Street

Built: c. 1910

Style: English Vernacular

Cyril and Ruth Clupper occupied this home from 1937 until 1998. Mr. Clupper was a salesman at John Richards, and Mrs. Clupper served as President of the Wabash Art Guild in 1976. this house is currently owned by the Charley Creek Foundation and backs onto the Charley Creek Gardens.

This English Vernacular structure is unusual in Wabash. Features that exhibit the style are the jerkinhead gables on the façade and the wings to the rear, shed dormers on the slopes of the roof to the north and south, and patterned wood shingles under the eaves. This house design may well have been selected from a pattern book or catalog.
