Built before 1900 by William M.
Tatum, son of a Corsicana pioneer merchant, this colonial revival style
mansion features first-floor palladian windows. Massive ionic
columns support the the two-story porch. Tatum's son Clifford A.,
who later took over the family hardware business, moved his bride into
his parents' home. The younger Tatums raised their family here and
remained in the home throughout their lives. The family sold the
house in 1970.
