Welcome to 411 S. Eleventh Street –
Nestled in the storied Travis College Hill Historic District, this residence is a rare jewel, steeped in heritage and thoughtfully reimagined with timeless grace. Built in 1913, it holds a distinguished place in Garland’s architectural narrative and is believed to be the first home in the city with an indoor plumbed bathroom, an innovation ahead of its time.
Once home to Mayor G. Lester Davis and his wife, Mattie Cole Davis, of the prominent Cole and Davis Dry Goods family, this historic treasure now stands as a magnificent tribute to their legacy and to a bygone era of craftsmanship.
From the moment you arrive on Magic 11th Street, so named for its undeniable charm, you’ll be captivated by the enduring beauty of this stately property. Lovingly restored, the home features 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths, over 3,200 square feet, and rare 3-car enclosed parking, blending architectural authenticity with modern livability.
Tall ceilings, warm wood finishes, and elegant period details honor the past, while thoughtful updates deliver today’s comfort and style. The result is a residence both refined and welcoming; a space equally suited for quiet moments and gracious gatherings.
Recognized with a Texas State Historic Marker in 2015, the Travis College Hill Historic District remains one of Garland’s most treasured enclaves. This home is more than a place to live; it is a landmark of legacy, a celebration of design, and a timeless invitation to experience history with modern elegance.
