187 S Main St

Welcome to 187 South Main Street—a timeless masterpiece located in the heart of the Village of Fairport.
Originally built in 1873, the Hiram Wilbur House stands as one of the most architecturally significant homes in the area, showcasing exquisite Second Empire French Chateau design. Known affectionately as “The Grand Dame of Fairport,” this storied residence has been a proud fixture of the village for over 150 years and has held a place on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. With its iconic façade and unmatched presence, this is a home that captures both the eye and the imagination.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s dramatic mansard roof, ornate brackets, and original architectural details set the tone for something truly special. Step inside to discover soaring ceilings, richly detailed woodwork, tall windows that flood each room with natural light, and a stately floor plan that reflects both elegance and functionality. The interior offers multiple formal and informal living spaces, generously sized bedrooms, and period features that have been lovingly maintained throughout the years.
Situated on a beautifully landscaped lot just steps from the Erie Canal, the property is equally captivating outdoors. A beautiful in-ground pool is surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery, creating the perfect backdrop for summer gatherings and peaceful retreats. Adjacent to the garage, a charming pool house with guest quarters provides flexible space for entertaining, studio work, or extended stays. While not currently approved for full time occupancy, the guest quarters offer immense potential with their own private entrance, kitchen, and full bath.
Additional features include Fairport Electric and unbeatable proximity to the shops, restaurants, and cultural offerings of the Village. Whether you're drawn to the historic craftsmanship, the vibrant village lifestyle, or the opportunity to own a true piece of Fairport’s legacy—this home delivers on every front.
