The roadside stories worth pulling over for.
Prominent local jeweler Joe Lucas (1865-1944) and his wife Annie (1879-1978) built this home in 1907 as a modest 2-story vernacular structure. As a result of business success they improved their home by adding a Queen Anne style wraparound gallery and gazebo-like corner in 1918. Prominent features include paired Corinthian columns, arched windows, and a 2-bay porch on the second level. The house remained in the Lucas family until 1965. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1992
