George Home was built in 1890 by Will H. and Julia George using materials from an earlier house on land Julia had inherited from her father, Maj. J.H. Wood, a builder of the Texas cattle empire who came from New York to join the Texas War for Independence. Remodeled in 1900, the house is a raised cottage with elegantly detailed interior woodwork. At the turn of the century, it hosted many social and cultural functions. The present owner is Mrs. Mary M. Welder, a Wood descendant.
