Sam Houston Historical ParkThe Sam Houston Historical Park near the city's visitor centre
in Bagby Street provides visitors with a large as life look at
Houston history. The 19-acre park features seven of the city's
oldest buildings that have been restored and relocated here. The
oldest building is a small 1823 cabin that originally stood at
Clear Lake, while one of the more recent is the 17-room home built
in 1905 for oil field pioneer Henry T. Staiti. Some of the other
buildings located in the park are the 1847 Kellum-Noble House, the
1850 Nichols-Rice-Cherry House, the 1868 San Felipe House, the 1868
Pillot house, the 1891 St. John Church, the 1870 Yates House and
the 4th Ward Cottage. Each building has been renovated and
furnished to appear exactly as it would have when it was first
erected. The park itself was bough by a mayour of the city in 1900,
and was carefully landscaped into a beautiful Victorian garden.
Several sculptures and memorials are displayed permanently in the
park, such as the Neuhaus F
