Fulton Mansion in, of course, Fulton, TX was built in 1871. Several features made it unique. It's size. They call it 4 stories but I say 3 with an English basement. It had central heat and air conditioning, and it had indoor plumbing. Things like this were never seen on a Texas ranch. The kitchen was in the basement and a dumb waiter was used to bring food upstairs. The 1 upstairs bathroom was a Jack & Jill arangement with a tub big enough to drown in. Although the comode was one of those upflush jobbies the water for the tub had to be carried up by the servants. I know how grateful they must have been that baths weren't taken too often! The archetecture and furnishings are of European design and materials that they had shipped in. Final cost was around $100,000.00. It is truly a beautiful building with a breathtaking view overlooking the Gulf. It has withstood several Hurricanes. Remarkable workmanship. The windmill in the tree had been on the original property and the later builders kept it intact. I wonder if they could remove it. Anyhow the story is that the windmill was in place and the tree grew up around it. Hope you can make it out. This was our June 6th adventure. More to come!!!
