Built in 1887 by a Quaker family, this house museum offers a tactile look at early Odessa—period rooms, local lore, and a barnyard complex. Open most Fridays and Saturdays, it’s frequently recommended by state heritage guides and local tourism sources.
I absolutely adore all things old house, but did you know you could have your wedding here? Their bride room is absolutely gorgeous 😍. And there was a ton of old architecture to enjoy. Plan on about an hour.

Unable to give it 5 stars since it was closed when I went. So really can't judge the inside. I love history and was amazed this structure is still there and very well taking care of.

It's worth a visit to the White-Pool House even if to do nothing more than stroll the grounds. It's a lovingly restored and significant piece of West Texas history. Just be aware that the neighborhood is a bit sketchy.

Great little gem to do shoot a photography session. The location is maintained by friendly folks so please do not destroy plants or loiter. Sometimes there are private events so call ahead.
