Harper-Chesser Historic Inn, Georgetown, Texas
Downtown,
one of Georgetown's oldest houses today serves as a bed and breakfast
inn. The Harper-Chesser Historic Inn is listed in the National Registry
of Historic Homes. This land was part of the survey assigned to
Georgetown founder, George Washington Glasscock. He sold 70 acres
to a pioneer doctor, Dr. George Smithers Coleman Harper in 1857.
The house changed hands several times, then in 1876 became the property
of county judge Daniel Chesser. Chesser's grandfather, James Gaines,
was part of the committee that declared Texas's independence in
1836. During the judge's ownership, a two-story addition to the
front of the house was constructed. Traditional Southern breakfasts are served
in the dining room, decorated with antique pine furnishings and
featuring one of the six fireplaces within the home. High noon tea
with scones and clotted cream is served by appointment on the veranda.
The verandah overlooks the garden, a popular spot for weddings and
parties. Location: 1309 College St., Georgetown Return to Georgetown Travel Guide |
