About the host
Hosted by NANCY
My husband and I live right next door to The Writers House in an 1866 historic home.
My business partner and I are among the artists and writers who have moved to the small town of Corsicana, building creative community in historic spaces which we could not find in the city. Old brick buildings have become big studios and affordable old homes have been life-enhancing. Porch-sitting is an art. Neighbors are neighborly.

Why they chose this property
The Carriage District of Corsicana still has beautiful well-built homes from the 1800s and early 1900s whose original charming personalities have not been lost to extensive remodeling; they are ripe for restoration. Small town life has been a mind-opening relief from our former frenetic city lives. Since moving to Corsicana from the city we have become deeply involved in preservation of the Historic Downtown, old homes and very old churches. The Corsicana town government has been an enthusiastic partner in any and all preservation/restoration efforts.
What makes this property unique
Seldom does one find such a grand old house that has retained every bit of its original character and is still so sound. They really don't make them like this anymore. Having been used for storage for decades, the interiors were preserved: the chandeliers throughout, the rich wood detailing and doors, the five fireplaces were all ready and waiting. Hundred-year-old mahogany paneling was harvested from a city mansion that couldn't be saved and now warm our gorgeous dining room/library. Restoration was done by a team of skilled craftsmen. The careful insertion of a modern kitchen, bathrooms, new electricity, central heat and air, and all new plumbing took three years to complete. The antique furnishings were all donated by friends and neighbors who want their family heirlooms to be part of this labor of love. We are recreating neighborhood here.
