HOUSTON– Houston Historian R.W. McKinney takes us on a rare tour of the historical 17,000 square foot Kirby Mansion.
The home dates back to 1892 and was renovated in 1925 by lumber magnate and one of Texas’ first millionaires John Henry Kirby.
The mansion is noted for hosting world dignitaries and U.S. Presidents FDR, Herbert Hoover and George H.W. Bush and world leaders like Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Join us as we explore the 36 plus rooms that include Kirby’s bedroom, sunroom, his wife’s bedroom, walk-in cedar closet, the famed thunder room, private balcony with Downtown views, grounds, library with hidden panels and much more.
The Kirby Mansion is for sale and might be torn down, so don’t miss the possible last chance to see inside.
