Bennett-Richardson House

Whitesboro, Grayson County

Marker Text

This residence was built in 1902 for the family of local business leader Bland Bennett and Grace (Dunlap) Bennett. Exhibiting Victorian and classical revival detailing, its prominent features include a 1-story wraparound porch with a pedimented primary entrance, a hipped roof, and corbelled chimneys. Its transitional floor plan is reminiscent of both center passage and American foursquare plans. The H. S. Richardson family purchased the house in 1942. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1991
