The Wenzel House is a single family home located at 1203 South Fayette in Saginaw, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]
This house was constructed in 1874 for Mr. Wenzel, a Saginaw harness maker. It was later sold to Harold Sperbeck, who owned it into the 1980s. [2]
The Wenzel House is a two-story frame Italianate house with bracketed eaves and a pediment breaking the eavesline of each facade. The house has a low-pitched hip roof, with a twelve pane belvedere having an arched roof line in the center of the main roof. A one-story wing is connected to the rear, and has an alcove porch rimmed by dentils. A classically-inspired front porch is a later addition; it has a hipped roof, balustrade, and columns. [2]
