Travis College Hill Historic District

Welcome to 411 S. Eleventh Street, a distinguished 1913 residence thoughtfully stewarded through time and carefully restored to honor both its architectural legacy and modern-day living. Located on Garland’s beloved “Magic 11th Street” within the Travis College Hill Historic District, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a true historic landmark that continues to serve beautifully as a primary residence.

Once home to former Garland Mayor G. Lester Davis and his wife Mattie Cole Davis, the property holds an important place in the city’s early history and was among the first residences in Garland to feature indoor plumbing, a notable innovation for its era. Today, the home reflects a seamless blend of preserved character and meaningful updates.

Spanning over 3,200 square feet, the home offers five bedrooms and two and one-half baths, with gracious living spaces defined by tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and period-inspired fixtures. Each room has been approached with intention, preserving what matters while improving livability where it counts.

Outdoor spaces extend the home’s charm, featuring a wide wraparound porch, screened balcony, tree-shaded yard, and enclosed parking for up to three vehicles; a rare and valuable amenity for a historic property. Recognized with a Texas State Historic Marker, this residence is not simply a home, but a carefully maintained piece of Garland’s architectural heritage, ready to be enjoyed and carried forward by its next steward.
