Marker Text Built in 1889 as a dog trot cabin with four rooms, this house originally served as the residence of the Henry Allen Pennington family. Houston County native Pennington (1853-1925) and his wife, Mary (Beeson) (1851-1937), had ten children. In 1892, they added a kitchen, dining area, and short hall. The central hallway was enclosed in 1928. The Pennington house is a good reflection of East Texas pioneer architecture. It remained in the family for nearly 100 years. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1985
