Property Description
Step into a rare chance to own a true piece of Texas history! Stamped with the official Texas Historical Commission Medallion since 2013, this remarkable two-story brick landmark in Golden, Texas (Mineola address) was built in 1913 and has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. Originally constructed for the Golden Masonic Lodge, which met upstairs until 1938, the building quickly became the heartbeat of town life. In 1916, I. N. Reneau opened a general store on the ground floor and simultaneously operated the Golden Post Office from the same space while serving as postmaster—making this property the center of both commerce and connection for decades. Architecturally significant, the building showcases extraordinary craftsmanship with triple-layered brick construction for insulation and strength, strong concrete foundation in depth, graceful arched windows, and original storefront glass that was considered high-end for its time. Each detail tells a story, blending durability with timeless character. Over the years, the building transitioned from bustling businesses to residential living, giving it both historic presence and modern livability. Today, it stands as a versatile property. Equally suited as a unique residence, a live work opportunity, or a special investment in one of East Texas's most authentic communities. Recognized as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, this property is more than just real estate, it's a living piece of heritage waiting for its next chapter. Rarely does such a distinctive and meaningful property come available. This is your opportunity to own a storied landmark, preserve a legacy, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind space with endless potential.
