Historical Marker |
Conservatively Greek Revival in its distinct bays, its center passage, pedimented windows, and columns, the Pela House was erected in 1884. Then-modern Victorian elements such as unusual geometric railings on a two-tiered porch make this house a striking hybrid of two very different architectural styles. Silvain Pela, a French immigrant, and his wife Elizabeth (Meyer) Pela, a Swiss immigrant, raised ten children within these walls. The colorful Pela family and their descendants remained in the home for more than 100 years. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1998
