Paddock Mansion

Address

228 Washington Street

Description

The home was designed in the Eastlake tradition by architect John Hose, and combined Tuscan Villa elements “for him” and Swiss Chalet “for her”. It was built between 1876 and 1878 by John Griffin. Mrs. Olive Paddock bequeathed the home to the Society in 1922, and it opened as a museum in 1924.
