The Lamar–Calder House is a historic house, on the former Lamar Plantation in Richmond, Texas.[2]
History[]
The land originally belonged to Jane Herbert Wilkinson Long, until it was passed on to Mirabeau B. Lamar, who built the Lamar Plantation.[2] Lamar lived in another house which was later destroyed.[2]
A new house was built in 1859–1861.[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] Lamar never lived in the house, as it was completed after his death, but his widow Henrietta Maffitt did.[2] Their daughter Loretto Evalina and her husband, S. D. Calder, the son of public official , lived in the house with their four children until they sold it in 1900.[2] The house was owned by the Hendee family from 1908 to 1996.[2] It later belonged to Felix Tijerina's son.[2]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 30, 2005.[3]
