| Description |
|
This classical revival mansion was erected on the homestead of
William McFaddin (1819-1897), who received land from the Republic
of Texas for service at the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto. He later
acquired more property and built a ranching empire. Architect Henry
Conrad Mauer designed the house in 1906 for McFaddin's daughter,
Di (Mrs. W. C.) Averill. Occupied (1907) by her brother, W. P. H.
McFaddin (1856-1936), it is now owned by his daughter, Mamie (Mrs.
Carroll E.) Ward.
Located at 1906 Calder Avenue.
