Marker Text | Corsicana resident A. L. Lemon built this home in 1895 of Louisiana cypress. In 1902 it was sold to John Wesley Edens. The owner of 2400 acres of local farm and ranch land, Edens had served the area as deputy sheriff, tax collector, and city councilman. The late Victorian style house, which features some Eastlake and Queen Anne detailing, remained in the Edens family for more than forty years. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1983 |
