In the early 1840's Welsh immigrants Hugh and Elizabeth Elias arrived in Waukesha County. In the mid 1890's, Willam H. Elias, son of Hugh and Elizabeth, built this estate, a Queen Anne Victorian. Elias served as the first village president of Wales when the village was incorporated in 1922. William and Mary Elias raised their daughter, Elizabeth, in the home. Elizabeth occupied the estate until it was purchased by the Webb Family in 1938. Restauranteur George Webb opened up his very first restaurant in this estate during the 1940's. Only two things were served on the menu-chicken for $1.49 and baked ham for .99 cents. In the recent past the home was used as a bed and breakfast for perhaps a decade or more. In the last five years the home has been used as a vacation rental.
