Christmas in A Small Town

Aldinger/Cartwright Home - 505 Griffith Av
The Victorian Cartwright/Aldinger home was fashioned after the lovely homes the owner and builder, Matthew Cartwright had visited while at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tn. It was begun in 1883 and completed in 1894 when the porches were added. Built of the very best material that could be had at that time, it has two full stories and a third, or attic, with two finished rooms and dormer windows. There are nine fireplaces.

In 2007, present owners Tom and Nancy Aldinger began an extensive restoration, including new support for the porches, a new roof, and renovation, including enlarging the kitchen/breakfast room, a new master bedroom laundry room, mud room, three bathrooms and a garage with two bathrooms.

The home is a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
