Heritage Society of Washington County

The Heritage Society of Washington County presents The Giddings Stone Mansion, an exquisite example of 19th-century Greek Revival architecture nestled in Brenham, TX. This stately abode boasts eleven rooms and expansive galleries spanning both floors, accompanied by a separate structure housing the kitchen, laundry, and servants’ quarters.

The exterior of the mansion is characterized by imposing Doric columns and generous verandas, while the interior showcases a striking carved cantilevered staircase that gracefully ascends from the lower hallway to the upper gallery. Steeped in history, the mansion was constructed in 1870 on the highest hill in Washington County by J.D. Giddings as a sanctuary from a yellow fever epidemic, with subsequent generations of the Giddings and Stone families calling it home.
