Considered the oldest standing house in Mckinney, John Faires arrived in Mckinney and built this home in 1854. Mr. Faires, a blacksmith by trade, was one of the many pioneers who came from Tennessee to Texas. This greek revival style home boasts a front door that was hand chiseled by Mr. Faires himself. Originally located on South Tennessee Street, 2 civil war era bullets were discovered in the home when it was moved to its current location.
