Battle
of San Jacinto veteran Greenleaf Fisk (1807-1888)
immigrated to Texas in 1834 from Milton, Kentucky.
He and his wife, Mary
Hawkins, moved to Brown County in 1860. Fisk
served in numerous county
positions including judge, clerk, treasurer and
justice of the peace. He also
taught in early Brown County schools. Later, he
gave land to form the city of
Brownwood. Built between 1878 and 1888, his home
features beautiful rough
sandstone. The quoins, window lintels and sills
and door surrounds display the
notable craftsmanship with which this house was
built. The porch was added
later. Other than a short time, the house has
passed in and out of the extended
Fisk family in the ensuing years. RECORDED TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK – 2022 |
