The Heritage
House Museum is located at 905 West Division Street, in Orange TX.
It is
a typical upper middle class residence of the 1900-1929 periods. The
structure was
moved from its original location at 809 Front Street and
restored to its earlier appearance.
The exterior of the home is painted
gray with maroon trim just as it was in 1919.
When major modification was
made the Long Leaf Pine woodwork and original lighting
fixtures inside
were restored, and reproduction period wallpaper and curtains cover the
walls and windows of the original two-story six room structure. The house
is listed as
a Recorded
Historic Texas Landmark by The Texas Historical Commission.
The
rooms reflect the lifestyles of the upper middle class family in the
early twentieth
century in Orange, TX.
