Distant morning view of Anderson County Courthouse
A couple of 1890s-era Queen Annes
I've not been able to identify either, yet.





703 South Magnolia Street, c. 1895, Queen Anne


Sacred Heart Church, c. 1890, Gothic; architect: Nicholas J. Clayton



Palestine Carnegie Library, c. 1914, Prairie School


Palestine Lodge No. 31, A. F. & A. M., c. 1878;

Texas Theatre, c. 1930



Link House, c. 1897, Queen Anne



The Link House, c. 1852, Classical Revival


Former Phillips 66 station

A man drove by in his Mercedes just as I was standing there taking pictures and asked what I'd give him for it. I think he meant the gas station; I thought he meant the gas pump. I said, "$250," and he chuckled, waved, and drove on.

Howard House, c. 1848, Greek Revival


503 East Hodges, c. 1896, r. 1902, Queen Anne
By far my favorite on this trip.



1025 North Mallard, c. 1910, Prairie School
Interesting roof on this one.


Hodges-Darsey House, c. 1895, Queen Anne


601 East Hodges, c. 1905, Classical Revival


The next eight are on Silk Stocking Row:

416 South Sycamore, c. 1900, Queen Anne


805 South Sycamore, c. 1895, Queen Anne


Pennybacker-Campbell-Wommack House,
c. 1891, r. 1923, Queen Anne


921 South Sycamore, c. 1890, Queen Anne


1014 South Sycamore, c. 1900, Craftsman
Standing out like a sore thumb, nestled smack dab in the middle of the "Silk Stocking Row" neighborhood of turn-of-the-century Victorian homes, is this little place. Servant's quarters? Must have been some type of domestic servant's home, originally.

717 South Sycamore, c. 1879, Queen Anne


1219 South Sycamore


William and Caroline Broyles House, c. 1894-1895, Victorian Eclectic
