Property Description

Step back in time with the historic Mattie Trammell Schoolhouse, a truly unique piece of Texas history built in 1892 and registered with the Texas Historical Commission. Originally built by Charles M. Thompson and his wife, May Agatha Trammell, for May’s mother, Martha “Mattie” Gibson Trammell, a certified teacher, the property once served as a school where young men and women were taught the rudiments of etiquette until approximately 1910. Today, this charming 1½-story home is currently enjoyed as an Airbnb and offers a rare combination of history, character, and distinctive architectural details. The primary bedroom is located downstairs and features a comfortable sitting area, while an additional guest bedroom is situated upstairs. Beautiful wood flooring, stained-glass windows on both levels, and period-inspired details add warmth and personality throughout the home. The downstairs bath showcases vintage charm with a ceramic clawfoot tub and swinging doors leading to the pedestal sink and toilet area. The kitchen features an electric range with overhead microwave, ceramic sink, and an inviting eat-in breakfast nook. Outside, a large covered front porch welcomes guests and provides a wonderful place to relax and take in the character of this historic property. A music lover’s dream, the home is decorated with an impressive collection of pianos, including several rare and distinctive pieces. Over the years, the property has reportedly hosted notable musicians and performers and has also been a setting for musical practices and gatherings, adding another fascinating chapter to its story. From its beginnings as a late-19th-century schoolhouse to its present use as a memorable short-term rental, the Mattie Trammell Schoolhouse is filled with history, charm, musical character, and architectural appeal. A rare opportunity to own a registered Texas historic property with a story unlike any other.
