The Story: Nestled beneath the shady oaks of Eagle Lake stands a home that carries the enduring spirit of Texas history. Built in 1912 and completed in 1913 by Haynie Mathews and his wife Lizzie Nicholson Connally, this timeless residence offers more than beauty and charm—it tells a story that began with the very founding of Texas.
Haynie Mathews descended from one of the original 300 settlers who journeyed to Texas with Stephen F. Austin. The Mathews family initially settled in Matagorda County, later acquiring land in Colorado County. Their holdings eventually grew into a thriving plantation community known as Mathews, Texas, complete with a general store and a schoolhouse once operated by the Mathews family themselves.
As the next generation took over, Haynie Mathews chose to build a home in town for Lizzie, blending craftsmanship and comfort in every detail. The home at 401 N. Walnut Avenue was constructed by local builder J.M. Bryant using cypress wood siding and hand-crafted trim, much of it made on-site. The result was a true architectural gem designed to stand the test of time.
Though Haynie and Lizzie had no children of their own, they opened their hearts and home to Lizzie’s nieces, Marie McClanahan and Sallie Jones, after the loss of their parents. Marie would go on to marry Curtis McClanahan and remained in the home until her passing in 1997, preserving its legacy for more than 80 years.
Today, 401 N. Walnut Avenue stands as a rare blend of historical character and timeless elegance. It has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully restored by its subsequent owners, each contributing to the careful preservation of this historic Texas landmark.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or simply someone seeking a home with meaning, this one-of-a-kind property offers the chance to be part of something truly special.
