This Victorian house was built in 1887 for J.O. Terrell. Mr. Terrell was a newspaper editor, poet, orator, lawyer, judge, State Senator, candidate for Governor of Texas and stepson of R.A. Terrell, for whom the town is named. He sold the home to Jarvis Family in 1985.

Col. Ned Green, president of the Texas Midland Railroad and only son of the richest woman in the world, Hetty Green, rented a room in this Queen Anne Victorian house from the Jarvis family for $25 a month for 20 years. He stored a wooden leg and a pair of trousers in an armoire to claim Terrell as his residence for tax purposes.

This Tudor Revival House was built in 1928. The home was designed by Dallas architectural firm, Fooshee and Cheek. It was the home of city alderman and commissioner, Walter Peck Allen, and his wife, America Cartwright. Mr. Allen was instrumental in transitioning the city to a city manager form of government. A banker, Mr. Allen was an organizer and later president of American National Bank. He also helped ensure Terrell was one of the Royal Air Force training locations during WWII.
