The Woodruff-Fontaine House is a historic museum house located on Adams Avenue in Memphis. Built in 1871, the house belonged to Amos Woodruff, a carriage maker. Shortly after completion, the house hosted the wedding of Woodruff’s daughter, and the house has been a popular venue for weddings since then.

The second owner was Noland Fontaine; after he died, the house was owned by several organizations and then was vacant. In 1961, the house was saved by the Association for Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities. Today, tours of the fully restored French-Victorian house are given and it hosts a variety of exhibits and events.
