Built in 1892, the Queen Anne-style home is known for its historic oak interiors, hand-painted decor, stained-glass windows, modern 19th The house sat silent for more than 50 years after W.E. Adams' death in 1934. His second wife, Mary Adams, left everything intact, from the sheet music on the piano, the books in the library and the china in the pantry to the patent medicines in the bathroom, and even cookies in a cookie jar. The home was purchased by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission in 1992 and restored as a house museum in 2000.
