405 E BROAD ST 

Mansfield , TX 76063

Historic name: Harrison-Ellis House (built 1930)

About This Property

This cross-gabled house was built for John Harrison and his bride, Leona Chrisman Harrison, soon after they were married in 1887. They moved across the street in 1905 to the large two-story house built for them at 404 E. Broad Street. The John P. Ellis family and descendants then occupied the house until 1944. J.P. Ellis came to Texas from Illinois before the Civil War, fought with the Confederate States Army and became a successful farmer and stockman. 

The house underwent major alterations in the 1930s, when the two front porches were enclosed, yet it still retains the form and texture of a 19th century residence. As such, it is a contributor to the potential historic district along East Broad and East Elm Streets. 

The house is an officially recognized historic resource of the City of Mansfield.
