Notes

  • 2012 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Entry
  • Significance: The Main House of George Francis on the Dublin Plantation, erected in 1849, is historically significant because of the double dog trot style of the home's construction, the plantation's proximity to the original San Antonio-Bastrop mail route on Yorks Crossing, and the influence of the Francis family in Guadalupe County. The Dublin Plantation was originally a thousand-acre cotton plantation operated by family members and paid laborers. The Dublin Plantation remains in the Francis family to this day, though portions of the land have been sold over time. The George Francis Home was originally constructed in the dog-trot style common in southern frontier construction, and its use of two dog trots, rather than one, makes the structure distinctive. Later renovations enclosed the two breezeways, creating interior transitional spaces between rooms. Deep overhangs and large porches wrap around much of the house, echoing the architecture of the Francis family's previous home, Alabama. Many of the house's inhabitants played active roles in both the Texas Revolution and the Civil War, and the Francis family has played a prominent role in the surrounding communities for generations.
