Webb House

The Webb House, built in 1914 by John Rueben Webb, is an example of a regional housing design prominent in the early 20th century. Typical of its era, the one-and-a-half story house features a gabled roof, a full-hipped roof porch on columns, a pair of central doors, and double-hung windows. It stands in what was once the settlement of Bransford, one of the early communities that would become the City of Colleyville. Webb, a Tennessee native who came to Bransford in 1897, worked as a section laborer and section foreman with the Cotton Belt Railroad for 44 years. He also owned Bransford's last general store and served as a trustee of the local Woodmen of the World, commander of the Maccabee Lodge, trustee of the Pleasant Run School, and the unofficial mayor of Bransford. The house was restored through a community effort to preserve it as an example of early 1900s regional architecture and for its historic association with Bransford and the Cotton Belt Railroad.
