McFaddin-Ward House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The McFaddin-Ward House was built in 1905 - 1906 in the Beaux-Arts colonial style in Beaumont, Texas. Di Vernon Averill commissioned architect Henry Conrad Mauer to build the house, which was sold to Di's brother, William P.H. McFaddin.[1] It is a very large historic home with a substantial carriage house. The structure and its furnishings reflect the lifestyle of the prominent family who lived in the house for seventy-five years. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[2] The entire grounds are currently a public museum with a substantial permanent collection of antique furniture and household items. Eductational programs focus on history and are geared toward children and adults.
