Property Description
Step Back in Time – Historic 1880s Waskom Home Built in 1880, this charming wood-frame residence stands as one of Waskom’s oldest surviving homes—predating even the town’s renaming in 1881, following the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Originally part of “Powell Town,” this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of East Texas history. Set on a generous lot, 1.55 Acres, the home reflects the architecture and character of a time when Waskom was transforming into a vital railroad hub. From its wide porches to its original layout, you’ll find details that echo the lifestyle of the late 19th century, when trains brought commerce, people, and prosperity to the area. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, preservationist, or simply looking for a unique property with a story, this home is a living legacy of the town’s early growth—and a special opportunity to make it your own. This home has been the heart of many special moments, weddings, family reunions and unforgettable gatherings. So many memories have been made.
