The Wickham House façade and its surrounding support buildings signaled to passersby the wealth and reputation of the family that resided within. The interior also spoke to the financial position of the Wickhams. Wall paintings based on classic Greek and Roman patterns adorned each public room. Furniture in the latest style from New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia filled the house, and imported wall-to-wall carpets and draperies completed the interior. Within this setting, the Wickhams entertained, hosting tea parties, balls, gentlemen’s dinners and card games.
