Henderson Bldg - 1897

226 Ft. McKavitt

Occupant: Hinckley's Country Store & Red Door B&b

This building was the site of a bank started in 1897 by F. W. Henderson, son of Texas's first governor, J. Pinckney Henderson. The Hendersons lived in high style above their Bank of Mason, with oriental rugs and ornate furniture gracing floors painted white while French doors opened onto a front balcony. Anna Martin moved her Commercial Bank here in 1903. The building later became the headquarters of Mason Independent School District before reverting to retail use.

The building housed the Winn's Variety Store until 1994. Brent & Monica Hinckley purchased and renovated the building, then opened a locally owned variety store in 1995. There's a little bit of everything in this store from crafts to gifts to household wares. The red door to the right leads to the Red Door B&B and the Hinckley's secondary residence.
