Guest danax Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 http://tinypic.com/k3rnro.jpg I don't think Lynn Edmundson of Historic Houston will mind my posting this press release. HOUSTON, TEXAS, January 10, 2006, Dew Plantation, Hugh Saunders Dew House 6626 Highway 6, Missouri City, Texas DeWalt Vicinity Ft. Bend County Texas The Dew Plantation house has remained in the Dew family for over a century. The plantation was originally purchased by Dr. Hugh Saunders Dew, Henry Wise Dew, and George Lewis Dew from their uncle Hugh Saunders in 1895. The land was previously known as the Belleveredere Plantation until the Dew Brothers renamed it. It was occupied by Dew family until Jessie Dew Agnew passed away. Tenants occupied the house for several years, but it has remained vacant for nearly five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm glad to see that this house is being preserved. Although it is too bad it will have to be moved down the road....too bad they can't leave it where it is...they could do a period themed neighborhood with the mansion as the focal point.
