During Come and Take It weekend\, this beautiful two-story Victorian home opens its doors for public tours\, showcasing handcrafted furniture\, preserved architectural features\, and stories spanning over a century of Texas life. \nThe home\, originally built in 1885\, offers a unique glimpse into post-Civil War Texas. Many of the pieces inside were created by J.B. Wells Jr. himself — including mantles\, lighting\, and even replicas of the Alamo and historic ships. Each room tells a story of family\, craftsmanship\, and regional pride. \n🏛️ Highlights from the Tour \nDownstairs: \n\n\nA 10-foot pier glass framed in river-bottom walnut \n\n\nOriginal wallpaper and curtains from the 1800s \n\n\nA Tiffany lamp that’s been in the family since 1910 \n\n\nMantles made from repurposed organs and walnut beds with trundle frames \n\n\nUpstairs: \n\n\nMassive walnut furniture from Texas cabinet makers \n\n\nAntique washstands and mirrors in the “dolphin’s tail” style \n\n\nArtifacts and photos from family members who served in three wars \n\n\n📍 Location + Parking \nThe JB Wells House is located just 5 driving minutes east of Independence Square at 829 Mitchell Street. There is limited on-site parking\, but overflow parking is available along Mitchell and St. Andrew Streets. Please be mindful of signage and driveways. \nAccessible parking is located directly in front of the house on the gravel pull-in. \n🛎️ Tips for Visitors \n\n\nRestrooms: Portable restrooms will be available on site. No public restroom access inside the home. \n\n\nPhotography: Photos are allowed without flash — this helps preserve antique materials. \n\n\nKids Welcome: Children must be supervised at all times\, as many items are original and fragile. \n\n\nWeather Note: The home is not fully climate-controlled. Light clothing is advised for warm afternoons. \n\n\nTickets: Purchase admission at the front door\, cash preferred. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space alter_height=”none” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_empty_space alter_height=”none” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
