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 |
