The Grove (Jefferson, Texas)
The Grove (also known as the Stilley-Young House), located in Jefferson, Texas, is an 1861 historic home that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. The house has also been called the most haunted place in Texas. The Grove’s history dates back to the 19th century, when the property was purchased and the house that became known as “The Grove” was built. The Grove has been featured in the television series, "If Walls Could Talk" on the cable channel HGTV〔HGTV "If Walls Could Talk," Episode #1809〕 and was chosen “as one of the top twelve most haunted houses in America”〔http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,20234518_20529661,00.html〕 by “This Old House.” The Grove was also named as one of the "eight scariest places in Texas" by "Texas Monthly" magazine.〔"Fear Factor: The Eight Scariest Places in Texas," Texas Monthly, October 2009.〕 The house was also shown in "William Shatner's Weird or What?" in 2012.〔"William Shatner's Weird or What," Episode 3024, "Curses," 2012〕 Additionally, The Grove was featured on "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!"〔Penn & Teller's "Bullshit!" - Season 3, Episode 36, "Ghost Busters.〕 Texas Highways magazine has featured The Grove several times, including their articles "Haunted Places in Texas" from October 1997〔Texas Highways Magazine, "Haunted Places in Texas," October 1997.〕 and "Haunted Jefferson" from October 2008.〔http://texashighways.com/travel/item/555-haunted-jefferson-ghost-tours-and-spooky-train-rides Texas Highways Magazine, "Haunted Jefferson," October 2008.〕
==Architecture==
The structure exhibits many of the external features of a Greek Revival home, but closer inspection reveals the influence of Creole Architecture as well. The Grove is a one-story building constructed of wood – the beams and studs are cypress, covered with wooden lap siding. The house was built in 1861, and is a blending of two architectural styles: Greek Revival and French Creole. The unusual melding of these styles presumably comes from the fact that many historic homes in the surrounding neighborhood were built in Greek Revival style at the time, but since the original owner, Frank Stilley, was from Louisiana, he exerted a French Creole Architectural influence into the design. Because of the city of Jefferson’s ties to riverboat trade with Louisiana during the 1800s, it stands as a unique example of the region’s past.〔National Register Of Historic Places Registration, National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior〕
The Grove has been fortunate that none of its contemporary owners have attempted to “modernize” or “renovate” the structure. The house today appears as it did after the 1930s remodeling, which made very few external modifications. By preserving the heritage and history of the house, it is hoped that The Grove will be a significant reminder of the region's past for our future generations.〔
