Assiter to Auction Historic Canyon Texas Bed & Breakfast

From eMedia Wire:

Canyon, TX (PRWEB) October 3, 2007 — Historic Hudspeth House Bed and Breakfast will go on the auction block Thursday, October 11, at noon, according to Tom “Spanky” Assiter of Assiter and Associates.

Located at 1905 4th Avenue in Canyon, Hudspeth House is on the Texas Register of Historic Buildings. “This charming historical home was built in 1909,” said Assiter, “and it remains one of the most prominent homes in Canyon.”

Hudspeth House was built by Thomas Turk with a kit purchased from the Sears Roebuck catalog and was originally located at 402 Palo Duro, west of the town square. In 1910, Miss Mary Elizabeth Hudspeth, a teacher at the West Texas Normal College (now West Texas A & M University) became a boarder in the home. She loaned money to the owners for completion of the home. In 1913, the home was deeded to Hudspeth as repayment of the loan, and she had the home moved to its current location at 1905 4th Avenue.
