1408 Pecan ST Bastrop, TX 78602

True American Architecture for its time, this 1916 Prairie School Style home exemplifies wonderful early 1900's craftsmanship. Powell C. Maynard promised he'd build his wife Clara a fine new home to entice her to move to Bastrop. Reportedly Bastrop contractor, Joe Pfeiffer, constructed the home of durable long leaf pine from the Wilbarger Lumber Yard. Rooms include a 10'x54' covered front porch, Entry Foyer, Living Room Parlor, Formal Dining Room, Sun Parlor, 3 upstairs bedrooms, Sleeping Porch , 2 full bathrooms upstairs, Conservatory living/dining, 1/2 bathroom & stacking laundry closet, Workout/Utility Room, & Guest Quarters with patio. Workshop. 2 large Terraces. The Prairie School style has classical Greek 'entasis' elements, as seen in the slight convex curve to the columns supporting the front porch & evident in the classical doric columns & entablature in the entry foyer. Other architectural details throughout, include mahogany doors, many original & antique fixtures, stacked ceiling molding, beveled glass features, 65 windows (more with Conservatory expansion), & pressed tin front porch ceiling. The low-pitched hip roof got the attention of Wayne Bell, noted Historic Preservation Architect and Professor emeritus at the University of Texas. He'd bring his students to Bastrop to climb in attic to study the unique roof design, as it is cantilevered on the outside walls of the house with minimal interior support. 2 families have inhabited this home since its origination. The current owners have occupied, maintained & improved the property since the 1980's.
