Built in the early 1900's by the Gaston family. Stephen L Gaston purchased this land, and established a farm here after serving as a farmhand on the Barrington farm for several years. The house was built somewhere between 1903-1908. This beauty is covered in old charm with fish scale details, and wood accents throughout the house.  Today the house sits on 6 lots that were donated to the city from the Preserve Development. It is the goal for the Justin Heritage Foundation to completely restore the house, and give it new life for many to enjoy.

Revitalizing the farmhouse, and bringing it back to our community as a space for all of the citizens of Justin to enjoy! The first goal is to begin the mothballing process which includes roofing, structural, and exterior work. The total cost of renovations is estimated to be around $500k.  The intention is that this house becomes a community treasure, that many get to enjoy now and in the future while reminding them of the farm town Justin has always been.

We need to save our heritage; we need to preserve what made Justin a place to call home. Unfortunately, our children are loosing the opportunity to see the tangible evidence of our heritage and what life was like in the great state of Texas many years ago. They deserve a historical place to see what life was like in Justin, Texas. Imagine walking through the front door and being that farmer planting row crops, trying to survive a Texas summer in 1887. Help us preserve the few remaining pieces of history within Justin; we can’t afford to lose another. Our history helps define our future; let’s not lose another opportunity.
