Kell House Museum
Kell House Museum, also known as The Kell House, is a historic house museum in Wichita Falls, Texas. The house was occupied from 1909 until 1980 by members of the family of Frank Kell, who made a fortune in railroads, flour milling and oil. Kell and his brother-in-law, Joseph A. Kemp, are considered the two leading business promoters of Wichita Falls in the early decades of the 20th century.
==History==
In 1896, Kell moved from Bosque County in Central Texas to Wichita Falls. Prior to the construction of The Kell House, the family lived in another residence on Scott Street. Kell purchased the land on the bluff overlooking downtown Wichita Falls, hence the address of 900 Bluff Street. Kell's sister-in-law was the contractor on the Victorian home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kell House History )〕 Construction of the two-story dwelling began in 1908 and was completed in 1910, after it had already been occupied by the Kell family.
The house is just east of the Central Freeway. Lula Kemp Kell (1866-1957), Kell's widow, remained in the home until her death. The Kells had six daughters〔 and one son, Joseph Archibald Kell (1895-1939), the victim of an automobile accident.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frank Kell (1859-1941) )〕 Their only unmarried daughter, Willie May Kell (1888-1980), occupied the house until her death.
