History

Built in 1916 at Grant and Pearl Streets by pioneer drug store owner and postmaster W.T. Henderson, Sr. (1886-1960) and his wife Burmah Adele Lambert (1887-1964), this house was moved in 1925 to its present address in the first neighborhood developed north of the original townsite. Constructed of salvaged lumber, the two bedroom frame house exemplifies American Bungalow Style, with solid wood walls, pine floors, nine-foot ceilings, and a columned porch typical of the era. A large living room held Burmah's piano, where family and friends gathered to dance. Until 1992, four generations of the Henderson family lived here at different times, including W.T., Jr. and his wife Dorothy Louise Hines, avid civic supporters and owners of Odessa Camera Center.
