Wallace Photos

Paulette Ross
Paulette loves the architecture of Wallace. Virtually every building in the downtown area is on the National Register of Historic Places. Many homes in the neighborhood are also listed on the Register. The town, founded by Colonel W.R. Wallace in 1884, burned to the ground in 1890. The rough and ready miners and merchants immediately rebuilt everything with brick. Consequentially, most of the town survived the huge 1910 fire that burned three million acres. Several buildings have "1890" displayed on their fascia. Wallace exists today as a showcase of Queen Anne, Art Deco, Chicago, Neo-classic, and Arts and Crafts architectural styles.
