Progress on saving Ennis’ oldest house
Saving a piece of history isn’t easy, but it’s important. As demolition of the Loggins-Mulkey house approaches, take a second to read about the history of this historic home, which sits on a plot of land at 110 N. Elm St.
The Loggins-Mulkey house of Ennis, Texas is deeply rooted in the early history of this pioneering settlement. The Mulkeys were among the original pioneers in the area. In 1857 Phillip Mulkey and Susan Arrington had the first wedding in what was yet to become the city of Ennis. Susan Arrington’s family built the first log house in the mid 1850s on what was yet to become South Paris Street in Ennis. And after Phillip Mulkey’s death his widow and son, James Mulkey, were vital proponents in the development of much of the eastern portion of Ennis all the way to Telico.
