Take Tea At The Eckhart House, The Victorian Crown Jewel Of Wheeling, West Virginia
There’s just something about Queen Victoria, isn’t there? With a spine of steel balanced by the grace of a delicate spring wildflower, she governed her country with finesse and determination for decades. Beloved by many, she inspired an entire era and her reach extends far beyond just politics – into art, music, and especially, architecture.
From June of 1837 to January of 1901, one woman sat on the throne of England: Queen Victoria.
The Eckhart House was built in 1892 and has been meticulously cared for inside and out ever since, creating one of the best examples of Victorian Era architecture in the state.
Step inside, and you'll see why. The dining room furnishings are consistent with the theme of this regal old Victorian house, with ornate wooden buffets, gracefully curved chairs and tables, and shelves upon shelves of delicate china.
With all this and more to its name, the Eckhart House truly is a state treasure. And it's open to the public! You can take a historic tour of the home or sit and sip tea with friends or even host your next event here in true Victorian style.
Add elegance to a bridal shower, birthday party, or retirement celebration.
