Lott Home ~ Mineola, Texas


This beautiful Southern prairie-style home was built in approximately 1918 by a prominent Mineola (pronounced minnie-OH-la) businessman.    Today there are two cottages, Miss Vivian's Canning Room and the Garden Gate Cottage, that are available as a bread and breakfast venue in this sweet little East Texas town of 5,611 residents.

A stately looking residence. The porch looks like it would be a great place to rest and enjoy some libations with a friend or two.

Love the prairie-style architecture -- especially the windows.

A grand home in a park like setting, who could ask for a nicer place to live.

This is an absolutely gorgeous home. I could definitely see myself sipping some Fuzzy Navels on that front porch. What is going on with the upstairs windows? They appear to be boarded up on the lower half. Is it my eyes playing tricks?
