W.P. Woods House

Original Owner: W.P. Woods Built: 1904

The year 1896 seemed bright and promising for W.P. Woods and his new bride, Eula Bass. The future darkened, however, with her death on June 15, 1897. The 1900 census shows W.P. Woods as a single male residing in a hotel; his occupation - lumber dealer. Records do not indicate that he ever remarried, however, he worked hard and built the pretty house on the Daingerfield Highway. In the 1920 census we find that W.P. has his brother, sister-in-law and family and possibly his mother in the house with him. Shelly Woods was a descendant that many people remember living in the house.
