Wenatchee Valley College originally opened as a private college in 1939, from donations from 51 area citizens. In 1941, Wenatchee Valley College was adopted into the state public education system. Originally, classes were held on the third floor of the original Wenatchee High School situated at King and Idaho streets. In 1949, the college moved to the home of A.Z. Wells home on a 5-acres of land along Fifth Street. The home was hand-built, consisting of stones from the Columbia River, and was modeled with castle style turrets. Wells House held all classrooms and offices, until additional buildings could be constructed allowing the Wells House to become a dormatory. WVC was able to purchase land from neighboring land owners, expanding the campus to its current 56 acres. Wells House still stands on the WVC Main Campus, although the building is owned by the Wells House Committee, which currently maintains the mansion.
