Durazno Plantation

Originally a part of Stephen F. Austin's 1828 Mexican land grant, Durazno (Spanish for "peach") plantation was willed by Austin to his sister, Emily Austin Bryan Perry, upon his death in December 1836. The property was deeded in 1847 to Emily's son, William Joel Bryan, who developed it into a cotton and sugar plantation. The land remained in the family until 1928, when it was purchased by Robert E. L. Stringfellow. Among the structures on the plantation were a main house, plantation office, log carriage house, barns and other outbuildings, and a number of slave cabins. (1991)
