In 1852, a young man came to
Wellsville and opened a drugstore. This man was
Edwin Bradford Hall, the descendant of a family
whose roots trace back to the Plymouth Colony. Hall
was an amateur paleontologist, who gathered fossil
sponges for nearly fifty years. He is best know for
discovering a previously unclassified species, today
known as Dictyophyton halli. Here in Wellsville,
Hall built his home. The Pink House, as the Hall
house is known, is believed to have been inspired by
the Italian villas in the Lake Como region of Italy.
A receipt from the architects, Henry Searle &
Son, shows that Hall paid $125.00 for plans,
elevation, specifications and working drawings for a
"dwelling house." Edition Limited to 4000.
The key is located in the set of windows on the
left side of the door.
