Historic Structures Kellum-Noble
House
|
The
oldest surviving brick house in Houston was built by Nathaniel Kellum in
1847. A Virginian who came to Houston in 1839, Kellum operated a brick
kiln, a tannery and saw mill on the property. During the 1850s Mrs.
Zerviah M. Noble conducted one of Houston's first private schools in this
house. In 1954 interested citizens organized the Heritage Society to save
the house from destruction. Kellum-Noble is the only house in the Park on
its original site.|
