The Grove, Greek Revival historic house in Jefferson, Texas.

The Grove is a one-storey timber house built in 1861, its cypress beams and studs covered with wooden lap siding. It shows Greek Revival features, but the Creole influence of its Louisiana-born owner appears on closer inspection. A full-width porch with four square white columns and a white balustrade runs across the front; the door, marked 405, has glass panes and lace curtains behind a screen door.

The land passed through several owners before Frank Stilley and Minerva Fox bought it on 13 November 1861 and built the house, paid for by her father as a wedding gift. Frank's cotton business collapsed after a flood and the 1873 removal of the Great Raft on the Red River lowered Big Cypress Bayou; Minerva died in 1879. Daniel C. Rock, a bridge builder, bought the house in 1880, and T. C. Burks bought it in 1882 but returned it within six months.

The Grove is known locally as one of Texas's most haunted houses, a reputation tied to the Reconstruction-era Stockade Case, in which a Union-protected man and four freed slaves were killed. The house appeared on HGTV's If Walls Could Talk, in William Shatner's Weird or What? in 2012, and in Texas Highways articles of 1997 and 2008.

The house stands at 405 on its street in Jefferson, a few blocks from the old public jail on Lafayette Street linked to the 1868 Stockade Case. It is a private home, so visitors view the porch, columns, flag and door wreath from the street; no interior tours are documented in the sources.

The Grove's haunted reputation stems from the 1868 Stockade Case: a mob took George W. Smith, a Northern newcomer, and four freedmen from the jail and killed them; military court records list The Grove as one of the sites. The house was later featured on HGTV's If Walls Could Talk and in William Shatner's Weird or What? in 2012.
