Victorian Residence, 1883

Built in 1883 by third-generation Texan Matthew Cartwright (1855-1925), a rancher, banker, and civic leader who married Mary Cynthia Davenport, this house was home to their ten children and hosted artists and statesmen. One of the first large homes in Terrell, it was enlarged in 1893 and was later placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
