It was built in the 18th century, and is a two-story, five-bay, one room deep whitewashed brick dwelling in the Georgian style. It has a gable roof and the front facade features a one-bay entrance portico. It has a two-story rear wing, that originally contained a kitchen and servants quarters. Also on the property are a contributing meat house and milk house. The property was owned by Congressman John A. Nicholson (1827-1906) before 1888, and later by U.S. Senator James H. Hughes (1867-1953), who purchased it in 1910.[2] The house's name comes from a piece of land by the same name located along Muddy Branch south of Leipsic. While local lore claims the land was named as a play on owner John Chance's name, it was known as Wheel of Fortune at least three years before Chance acquired the land in 1738.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a|dateform=mdy}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=73000498}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Wheel of Fortune |author=Vincent Rogers and Miss Rosemary Troy|date=August 1972|publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NRHP url|id=73000498|title=Accompanying five photos|photos=y}} External links
