Description

Commissioned by prominent banker Robert Scott “Scott” Dilworth and designed by noted Texas architect J. Riely Gordon, this extraordinary two-story classical Revival home was constructed between 1908 and 1911. Built with pressed brick imported from St. Louis and famously constructed “without a foot of pine lumber,” the residence stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and historic grandeur. After a cosmetic remodel in the 1920s, it now exists as a stunning Greek Revival home on the original, expansive lot. Enter the wrought-iron fence and walk up to the spacious porch that wraps from the front, around the side, and to the back of the home. Upon entering the front door, natural woodwork, original wood flooring, large pocket doors, and lovely fireplaces welcome you into this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home. The downstairs features a living room, parlor, dining room, kitchen, and half bathroom. Upstairs, you will find three large bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a sprawling screened balcony. Potting shed (original root cellar) in backyard offers storage. The large yard offers room for entertaining, expansion, garage, or the possibility of a second home. Owners have added a cowboy pool and native landscaping with awe inspiring Texas wildflowers blooming in spring. Positioned in the heart of historic Gonzales, this property offers the grandeur and architectural pedigree rarely available at this price point—especially within convenient reach of Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. A truly unique opportunity to steward a landmark home of this caliber.
