✨Do you know about the T.N Matthews House,J.B. Wells House 🏡

This wonderfully preserved house was built in 1885 by cattleman Thomas Newton Matthews. This Victorian style house is constructed of Florida longleaf pine shipped in by water to the old port of Indianola, Texas, and hauled to Gonzales by ox teams. It was quite modern for its time, with fire escapes, lightning rods and indoor plumbing. The house was purchased by James Bailey Wells and on January 1, 1890, Mr. and Mrs. Wells, their sixteen year old son, Charles, and their twelve year old daughter, Effie, moved to Gonzales from Leesville.

To book a tour of this home contact The Daughters of the Republic of Texas at (830) 519-4048.
