Property Description

Step back in time with this remarkable 1880s wood-frame residence—one of the oldest surviving homes in Waskom. Built in 1880, this property predates the town’s renaming in 1881, when the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad transformed the area from “Powell Town” into a thriving East Texas community. Rarely does a piece of local history like this come available. Situated on 1.55 acres, the home reflects the architecture and character of the late 19th century, offering wide porches, an original layout, and timeless details that speak to the era when Waskom was emerging as a vital railroad hub. Every corner of this property carries the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone time. Beyond its historical significance, this home has served as the backdrop for countless cherished moments—weddings, family reunions, and gatherings that have filled it with love and laughter for generations. It stands not only as a historic landmark, but as a place where memories have been made and where new ones are waiting to unfold. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, preservationist, or simply someone who appreciates a home with a story, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a living piece of East Texas heritage.e.
