When the owner passed away in 1948, East Terrace stood vacant except for the occasional presence of vagrants. Thankfully, East Terrace was not to be left to the ravages of time. Young Brothers Contractors purchased the estate in the 1950s to use the site for equipment storage. Recognizing the historic value of the property, Young Brothers deeded East Terrace to the Heritage Society in 1960. After extensive restoration East Terrace House opened as an historic house museum run by Historic Waco Foundation.
