NRHP Nomination Form"The Perry M. Woods House in Jefferson, Texas, is particularly outstanding for its fine detailing. The date of the
house is not known. Original owners of the property, however, were the Alleys, who owned about half the land in Jefferson.
The Alleys deeded the property to their daughter, Victoria, who married M. L. Crawford, a District Judge, prominent lawyer, and veteran of the Civil War.
On December 30, 1870, the Crawfords sold the property to a Samson Eagon for $1,000. The sum indicates that there was some kind of house on the lot, since lots did not sell for any more than $200.00 when vacant. Eagon was a Jefferson doctor and probably made additions to the house.
Eagon sold his property to W. R. Smith, June 6, 1874, and the estate changed hands numerous times until August 10, 1932, when Perry M. Woods bought it. The home has remained in his possession."
