SITES AROUND HISTORIC DOWNTOWN
#1 W.J. CARPENTER HOUSE. W.J. Carpenter, a prominent, successful farmer in Plano, bought this house a few years after its construction in the late 1800s. It was a working farm in the city. The family lived at this farm during the school year in order for the Carpenter’s four sons to live near the school.
THE CARPENTER’S MAIN FARMHOUSE. During the summer, the family lived at the main farm located between present-day Custer and Independence Roads, near Spring Creek Parkway. (Courtesy of the Frances Wells Collection.)
THE W.J. CARPENTER HOUSE IN 1906. The farm in town consisted of 2.5 to 3 acres. The pasture extended to where Collin Creek Mall stands today. Mrs. Carpenter ran a dairy from the farm that was very well known in the area. The original farm buildings still stand on the property today. (Courtesy of the Frances Wells Collection.)
THE OLD SCHOOL OUTHOUSE. The outhouse from the nearby Plano School was relocated to the property when the school built indoor plumbing facilities. The Carpenter family used the building as both a chicken coop and storage area. Four doors still exist on the old school outhouse—one door each for boys, girls, men, and women.
