The historic Bell House, commissioned in 1897 by esteemed US Congressman G.F. Burgess, stands majestically on a piece of land bestowed upon the town of Gonzales through a generous Spanish land grant dating back to 1832. This exquisite residence epitomizes the splendor of Victorian architecture, boasting seven distinctive gables and adorned with four elegant fireplaces. Known locally as the “Key Hole House” it is often likened to a charming gingerbread house, the Bell House exudes a one-of-a-kind allure that captures the imagination. One can only dream of residing within such a captivating dollhouse; it is truly a remarkable gem. Lovingly restored, you will find wood floors throughout as well as a restored kitchen reflecting period correct appliances. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Gonzales’ historic past.
