Restoration of the Hearne-Gidden-Hunter HousePrior to 1873, Mr. R. Hearne, a successful local cotton farmer, purchased approximately 23 acres of land from the Ruben Flippin survey of Kosse, Texas. He initially built a two-story, four-room house in the salt-box style on the property in 1873.
In 1893, Mr. Hearne hired Anderson Johnson, a well-known builder from Waco and "Victorianized" the home in the styles of Queen Anne & Gothic Revival, completing it in 1894, more than doubling the original size of the home. The Kosse Heritage Society acquired the Hearne-Gidden House in 2014 and is actively involved with its rehabilitation. Donations towards the revival of this historic home are welcome and appreciated. |
