This charming historical home was built in 1909 and remains one of the most prominent homes in Canyon. It was built by Thomas Turk from a kit purchased from the Sears Roebuck catalog and was originally located at 402 Palo Duro, west of the town square. In 1910, Miss Mary Elizabeth Hudspeth, a teacher at the West Texas Normal College (now West Texas A & M University) became a boarder in the home. She loaned money to the owners for completion of the home. In 1913, the home was deeded to Miss Hudspeth as repayment of the loan, and she had the home moved to its current location at 1905 4th Avenue. The home served as a boarding house for the faculty of the college. In 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe was a boarder and took her meals at the Hudspeth House. Elegant chandeliers and the beautiful hardwood floors grace the rooms of this stately home. In recent years, this magnificent home has hosted parties, weddings, receptions, meetings, retreats and murder mystery dinners. The home can comfortably accommodate 100 people for weddings or other events. This home is on the Texas Register of Historic Buildings and the current owners are only the ninth owners of this lovely home. This historic bed and breakfast offers eight guest rooms, each with a private bath which rent in a range from $85-$139 per night. The owner/manager living quarters has a living area, two bedrooms and one bath.
