Harry Wiess and Olga Keith Wiess built this home in 1911. Harry was Grandson of Simon Wiess who came to Jefferson County in 1835. Harry was a founding partner (along with Texas Gov. Ross Sterling ) of Humble Oil which later became Exxon. The papers creating Humble Oil were signed in the home. The Home is the only example of Prairie-style architecture in the City of Beaumont designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright prot g from H.C. Banker & Co. Arch. It is a designated Historic Cultural Landmark. The Home has been updated over the decades but its design and original character retained. Kitchen(s) and bathrooms have been updated but preserve original intent and purpose. Lots of intrigue and features from the basement to the 12 ft ceilings on the third floor. Carriage house/apt in back is 3-1 with big workshop and 2 car garage. Perfect for a large family or BED and BREAKFAST ? This is a one of a kind opportunity for an older home enthusiast!
