Background
History
Wigfair was built on the site of an older house between 1882 and 1884 for Rev R. H. Howard. It was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. Its large tower was originally a water tower for the house and was used to generate electricity. The equipment for this purpose, including the tanks, pipework and generator, although no longer in use, is still present.
Architecture
This includes "some good Douglas woodwork", it is "largely unaltered and retains high-quality original fittings in polished oak". These fittings include an inner entrance screen, panelling, doors and architraves, fireplaces, a fitted sideboard, and a balustraded gallery. The plaster ceilings are decorated with moulding and compartments, and in the stairhall is a limestone fireplace.
