Now Available in Independence Texas.
Step back in time with this rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. Built in 1840, in its prime it was situated right off the town square in one of the most exciting, wealthy, fast growing towns of its time. This beautifully preserved property has served many roles in the story of Independence, originally the Root & Taylor Store, McKnight Pharmacy, and notably the upper room was home to the Milam Masonic Lodge #11.
Now thoughtfully adapted as a 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with carport, and a storage room, the property blends its historic character with modern livability. Situated on 1+ acre in the heart of Independence. The rustic stone exterior highlights original 19th century craftsmanship, while updates provide comfort and convenience.
Whether cherished as a private residence, a weekend retreat, or preserved for its historical significance, it offers a truly unique ownership opportunity.
