Whitaker-McClendon House, Victorian house museum in Tyler, United States.
The Whitaker-McClendon House stands as a two-story structure built from cypress and pine, featuring a main foyer, living room, dining room, and multiple bedrooms.
Built between 1878 and 1880, the house was constructed on land previously owned by James Pinckney Henderson, the first governor of Texas.
The residence functioned as a central gathering place for Tyler society, where the Whitaker family hosted numerous dinners and social events in Victorian style.
The museum opens for guided tours every Friday and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and accommodates groups of up to 35 people for special events.
Sarah McClendon, born in this house in 1910, became a distinguished White House correspondent who covered twelve presidential administrations from Roosevelt to Bush.
