Quitman, TX 75783

This wonderfully maintained, circa 1860’s home was the first brick building of any kind built in Wood County. The brick walls of the house are 14” thick and the foundation was placed 4’ into the ground. The bricks were formed and burned a short distance away. The home is host to original hardwood floors, period lighting fixtures, floor to ceiling windows, four, wood burning, brick fireplaces (one in each bedroom and the living room), a sprawling upstairs landing that can be used as an office and a modernized kitchen and bathrooms. The Carriage House has a 2 car garage, shop and mower garage down with an unfinished upstairs just waiting for your ideas to finish out. The grounds include a large front yard with a circle drive and additional acreage, not located in the city limits, at back, with towering trees and a metal building. The home stayed in the Collins-Haines family until the 1940’s and received a Texas Historical marker in 1965. A complete ownership history is available.
