Description
Rare opportunity to own a Texas Historic Landmark, childhood home of U.S. Vice President John Nance Garner in Detroit, TX. The home was built by J. E. Yates in 1876. Cactus Jack, Nance's nickname, lived there after college while working as a young lawyer before leaving the home. The historical plaque shows several family members lived there as well and are buried in Detroit Cemetery in the family mausoleum. The home sets on nearly an acre with many pecan trees. The outside of the home seems in decent shape. The inside and main floor needs foundation, joists, sub flooring and flooring in all rooms. Ready for someone to bring it back to its glory! There may be financial assistance or tax breaks for cost of repairs that would need to be check out with the Texas Historical Commission. The local Red River County Historical Society may can provide guidance and assistance in making application for financial assistance and or tax credit. After needed repairs, the property would make a great B and B, a venue and event center site for weddings, reunions, and many other events, as well as boutique lodging, office, house museum or a residence. Seller has gathered documents from the Texas Historical Commission, information on rehabilitation tax credit and full designation file that be shared. A must see with varied potential!
