Chapin, Henry A., House - Niles, Michigan - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Henry A. Chapin House is a landmark in the history of the Queen Anne style and the home of one of Niles' most prominent businessmen in the late nineteenth century. The residence was constructed for Henry A. Chapin based on designs by Wheelock and Clay of Chicago between 1882 and 1884. It is, thus far, the only documented Michigan example of the firm's work. Henry Chapin owned land in the Upper Peninsula on which the lucrative Chapin Mine was located. With the royalties from the mine property, Chapin became an investor in local real estate and industry. The Henry A. Chapin House currently houses the Niles City Hall while the carriage house is home to the Fort St. Joseph Museum." ~ Statement of Significance on Nomination
