Description

The A.R. Howard Home, a two-story, Victorian Italianate-style house located in Historic Palestine, Texas. The stately Alfred Ryland Howard Home was built by local brick manufacturer, Daniel N Darling, on land (in the Reagan and Word Addition) purchased from the Texas and American Statesman, John Henniger Reagan. It has been noted that the land was purchased by Howard's first wife, Georgiana Grainger Howard, out of her own separate money. Howard, Pennsylvania-born, and his wife raised their 3 boys (Alfred, George, David) until her untimely passing in 1896. Howard later married Katie Black and enlarged/remodeled the home in 1899. The 1899 changes included the addition of a cupola and a 2-story veranda on the south (Park St) that was enclosed by glass in 1985 (Converse). Howard's wife, Katie, an Arkansas native, oversaw the formation of the local D.A.R. chapter in her home in March 1906.
