Spade House

Spade House

Spade House in Sandgate, England was the home of the science fiction writer H.G.Wells from 1901 to 1909. It was designed by C.F.A. Voysey . Voysey had a signature heart on the door of every home, but Wells did not want a heart, so a heart was replaced by a spade. Wells and his wife's two sons were born here. While living at Spade House he wrote books such as Kipps, Tono-Bungay and Ann Veronica.
