Built in 1880 for merchant and civic leader George Ross Philips (1853-1944), this two-story house was originally located on South Broadway in Tyler. Contractors Ford & Baskin, who erected the structure, later built Philips' Store on the Courthouse Square. In this elegant Victorian residence, Philips and his wife Ada (Townsend) (d. 1925) raised their family of five children. The house was moved to this site in 1972. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1978 |
