Home of Dr. Edwin W. Link and his wife Eva. The house features exceptional craftsmanship that has been preserved to the present. There are remarkably few alterations, and the property retains its integrity to a high degree.

Dr. Link (1858-1937) was the son of Dr. Henry Harsnbarger Link, a pioneer East Texas physician who had been practicing medicine in Palestine since the mid-1840’s.

This house sits on land considered part of the Link family homestead; the elder Dr. Link’s original house still stands across E. Pine at 1003 N. Link. The Link family was responsible for the construction of several other notable historic buildings in Palestine, including the Gregg-Link Building at 101 W. Spring and the Link Building at 521 N. Church.
