Sam Houston home near old Baylor

The property was purchased by Sam Houston, the first President of the Republic of Texas, in 1853. President Houston bought the property for his homestead and moved his family here in Independence. The property is situated adjacent to old Baylor College where his daughters were educated.

 

The "dog trot" is the space between the two sections of the house.

 

The property is now included in the "old Baylor College" property in Independence, Texas.
