About The Wood-Hughes House
Built in 1897 in Brenham, Texas, by lumberyard owner W. A. Wood and his wife Fannie, the Wood-Hughes House used fine oak, heart pine, and cypress, with siding milled to resemble cut stone. It exemplified late Victorian residential architecture. Sold in 1913 to planter-rancher Henry W. Hughes and his wife Bess, it stayed in the Hughes family 58 years.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at The Wood-Hughes House
W. A. Wood (1851-1909) and his wife Fannie (Wheeler) built this house in 1897. A lumber yard owner, Wood used fine materials--oak, heart pine, Louisiana cypress--and had siding milled to simulate cut stone. This is an excellent example of late Victorian residential architecture. Home was sold 1913 to planter-rancher Henry W. Hughes (1865-1935) and wife Bess (Thornhill), whose family owned it 58 years, selling in 1971 to Kenneth E. and Fonda (Clark) Rich, who call it "Clarich."
