Description
In 1879, William and Eliza Wyeth hired architect E. J. Eckel to design a mansion resembling the castles they had seen on the Rhine River as they were traveling in Germany. This 43-room Gothic style mansion combines an example of the homes of early prominent St. Joseph residents with exhibits on the history of St. Joseph. The first floor of the Wyeth Tootle Mansion has been restored to its Victorian grandeur. Old photographs of each room help visitors visualize the interior as it was around 1900. Each room
