Located in the quaint town of Claude

Built In 1907

Tolman S. Canvis was a civic leader and entrepreneur in Claude from 1889-1925.  T.S. married Fanny Clark on May 13, 1886.  On moving to Claude in 1889, he established a mercantile and joined the company that built the Palace Hotel, the first hotel in Claude.  There, he provided a safe keeping for settlers’ savings.  Consequently in 1904, Cavins chartered the First National Bank of Claude, followed by another business, the Cavins Lumber Company.  In 1907, T.S. and Fanny built their beautiful home.  The CW house would remain in the Cavins-Wooldridge family for 114 years.  

Upon the death of Fanny in 1948, the house sat empty for 13 years.  T.S. and Fanny’s grandson, Bert Cavins Wooldridge and wife, Marianne, renovated the house in 1960, keeping the original half inch mosaic tile floors on the first floor.  They moved into the house in 1961 and made it their home.  Their love of art is still on display through throughout the house.  The house remained in the family until Marianne’s death in 2021
