[503 E. Hodges - Hearne House]
Date: February 1993
Creator: Emrich, Ron
Description: This house is one of three grand residences on the north side of Hodges Street and is among the finest local illustrations of the Queen Anne style. The corner tower with its conical roof dominates the façade, which has a 2-tiered porch with turned balustrades. The property retains its integrity to a remarkable degree and it remains a prominent local landmark. Born in Robertson County, Texas, John Randolph Hearne (1854-1930) moved to Palestine in 1876 after attending college in Virginia. An active local businessman, Hearne operated retail drug stores in both Palestine and Dallas, and helped organize (and served as president of) the Palestine National Bank. Hearne’s parents invested heavily in real estate along the Brazos River; the town of Hearne is named after the family, which donated the acreage upon which that town now stands. This house was built in 1896 on land given to Hearne as a wedding present by Colonel George R. Howard, when Hearne married Howard’s daughter Emma in 1883. Howard himself lived nearby at 1011 N. Perry. Hearne personally selected the pine and oak lumber used in the house’s construction; the red brick veneer was added in 1902. Prominent San Antonio (?) architect Luther McKlemurry ...

[839 N. Tennessee]
Date: February 1993
Creator: Emrich, Ron
Description: This one-story frame residence is one of Palestine’s premier examples of an L-plan house. Like so many other L-plan houses, this property has Queen Ann-style architectural embellishments, but few other examples have such a high degree of craftsmanship and intricate woodwork. Particularly noteworthy elements include the bay window on the front and the bargeboard in the gable end. Rear additions detract somewhat from the property’s overall historic character, but their relative obscurity from the street minimizes their impact on the structure’s integrity. According to the current owner, this house was built in 1893. The earliest known owners were A.S. Grant, who lived here about 1905, and J.P. and Daisy Branch, who resided here around 1910. Mrs. Lucille K. Noblin owned the house from about 1915-1935, though it is believed she used it as a rental property. She was followed by Mrs. M.K. Helm, who owned the house from the late 1930s until about 1944. Arcala N. Herrington owned the house from 1944 through the 1970s.
