Oldest Mansion in Texas Is Timeless and Looks Great
There are so many big and beautiful mansions found across the great state of Texas. You will find these properties with so many different amenities being offered. Some of these older properties offer gigantic plots of land to create the privacy you might want; others are smaller but might offer more updates inside the home. But there is only one Texas mansion known for being the oldest that is still standing, that is The Seaquist House.
The construction of The Seaquist House started back in 1887 by Reverand Thomas A. Broad. He was a methodist pastor but actually became more well known for his second occupation which was mason work, specifically a stone carver and builder.
The Seaquist House Became Historic
It was back in 1974 when the National Register of Historic Places gave a historical marker to the residence. You might not realize it from the outside but this gorgeous and historic home also offers a chapel and a ballroom.
