The house’s construction includes a story-and-a-half dogtrot design, which raises some questions. While the Harris County history book claims it is nearly 200 years old (even though it was published in the 1960s), Harris County itself wasn’t settled until after the Washington Treaty of 1836. That makes a pre-1826 build date historically unlikely. It does make us wonder: could this house have been built even earlier than 1851? #adventures #exploration #oldstove | Adventures Into History
