On SecondShelters.com: Terrell’s Warren-Crowell House, Now Restored, Is On the Market

May 27, 2018 | Bethany Erickson | | Second Shelters

When Robert Lee Warren built his Colonial Revival-Prairie School style mansion in 1897, Terrell, Texas, was about 24 years old, having taken root like so many towns in Texas did — along a railroad line.

Although settlers first arrived in the area in the 1840s, it was the Texas and Pacific Railway’s march across North Texas that attracted interest in the town. C. C. Nash and John G. Moore bought the tracts and planned the town that would flourish during the heyday of rail travel, and Warren would come a couple dozen years later to build his mansion, complete with a special room in the master suite that allowed him to watch his farm wake up every morning, right after he woke up.

Now, after a massive renovation spanning three years, the home is on the market. We have details on SecondShelters.com.
