Review:
Built in 1892, The Historic Adams House features Queen Anne-style architectural design.
The interior boasts impeccable craftsmanship and woodwork. Intimate parlors, fireplaces, polished wood flooring and trim, and stained glass add to the charm. W.E. Adams was a prominent businessman, mayor, and member of Deadwood’s chamber of commerce.
After the deaths of his first wife and two daughters, he financed the construction of the Adam’s Museum in their honor. After his death in 1934, a dedication to Adams’ legacy regarded him as “philanthropist and a friend to all mankind”. It is said that after his death, his widow left sheet music on the piano, medicines in the cabinet, and even cookies in the jar. Tours of the home are self-guided.
