Vintage 19th-century homes |

Tucked away in the 20-acre Sam Houston Historical Park downtown, you will find an impressive bit of Texas history. Visit the museum and gallery that features historical records, and then you can take the outdoor tour of noble buildings restored to their original glory. Pathways lead to an assortment of prestigious homes with styles that include log, brick, Greek and Victorian. The 1868 Victorian-style Pillot house also happens to be the site of the city's first indoor kitchen. All the homes on the tour are unique in structure and furnishings and clearly represent the former owner's heritage. There is also a quaint church built in 1891 by German farmers. You could stay all day in this downtown oasis. It's like walking through skyscrapers into a 19th century time warp. Review © 2009, Wcities |
