Wallace-Jordan House

260 Cass Street

Built: 1910

Style: Craftsman

William Wallace and his wife Amanda built this home. Mr. Wallace came to Wabash in 1845 and was a member of the Christian Church. Mrs. Wallace served on the Ladies' Relief Corps and was a member of the Order of Ben Hur. In 1919, Dr. Minnetta Flynn Jordan, one of the first female doctors in Wabash, purchased the home. She practiced medicine in Wabash for 30 years.

A fine example of the Craftsman style, this simply-detailed home has a wood shingled exterior, a cross-gabled roof, and a secondary roof that both shelters the entry porch and creates a porte-cochère over the drive. A stepped-brick chimney at the center of the main façade adds visual interest.
