Spade House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
