W. Y.
Penn Home
- This house was erected in 1895 for William Y. Penn
(1860-1951), a local merchant who also served as city alderman and
mayor. Like several other Victorian homes here, it was built by C. S.
Belford Lumber Co. In 1907 the structure became the residence of the
presiding elder of the Georgetown District of the Methodist Church and
member of the Masonic Lodge. It was sold in 1945 to druggist M. C.
Hodges (1889-1965) and in 1966 to Dr. Van C. Tipton. In 1973 it was
purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Robert V. Allen. Recorded Texas Historic
Landmark - 1975 |
