| Description |
|
| |
This site was originally part of a Republic of Texas
land grant to Andrew Edwards Gossett, a veteran of the Battle of
San Jacinto. Around the turn of the century it became part of a
real estate development which opened a new Crockett residential
area. Charles Harrison Beazley (1850-1929) purchased this property
in 1912 and erected this cottage with elaborate victorian trim.
He used wood from his farm and had it cut at the family's small
sawmill near Grapeland. He and his wife Margaret Elizabeth "Bettie"
(Lively) (1863-1960) and two sons moved into town so the boys could
be near better schools.
Marker located at 700 Terrell Street
