Trout, George & Virginia, House

615 Elm Street
Wamego (Pottawatomie County)
Listed in National Register Jan 8, 2014

Architect: Spencer, Francis M. (builder)
Area of Significance: domestic
Architectural Style(s): Queen Anne

The George and Virginia Trout House was completed in 1896 and was nominated to the National Register for its local significance in the area of architecture. Situated on a prominent corner lot overlooking downtown Wamego, this three-story house reflects the Queen Anne style in its irregular form, asymmetrical arrangement, multiple roof planes, three-story rounded tower with a conical roof, and wood materials. It includes a combination of wood lap siding and fish scale shingles. Its porches and gables lack the delicate spindlework of earlier Queen Anne houses, and instead include classical columns grouped in threes supporting the front porch. The interior retains the ornate radiators, a still-functioning call-box system, an original central vacuum, four ornate and unique fireplaces, a large water reservoir on the third floor with fire hoses, and an impressive display of woodwork throughout the first and second floors. George Trout arrived in Wamego shortly after the Civil War and opened a hardware, lumber, and implement business in partnership with L. B. Leach. He later established a bank, which became the Wamego State Bank in 1906. Trout hired Francis M. Spencer of Topeka to erect the impressive residence, which is believed to have been designed by George Farran, in close collaboration with George and Virginia Trout. The house remained in the Trout family until 1961.
