Arnold Outhouse, Henderson, Rusk Co, TX
Located at the Depot Museum complex, 514 N. High St. at Waskom St. (This is
a "three-seater".)
Marker Text
Prominent Henderson businessman and civic leader John R. Arnold moved his
family to this property in 1908. He added a second story to the home (razed in
1966) that already existed at the site. He also built a number of structures
around the property, including this outhouse. It was larger than most standard
outhouses of its day, and the milled pattern on the door and window facings
matched that of the large Arnold house. The Arnold Outhouse is preserved to
illustrate part of the lifestyle of 19th and early 20th-century Texans.
