Washington Square Historic District

The Washington Square Overlay District is a mixture of historic residential and educational buildings, some of which have since been converted into commercial spaces. Two- and three-story Queen Anne and Stick houses line the east side of Mound Street. Along the west side, on Washington Square, is a wide assortment of educational buildings including the notable Greek Revival Old University Building (1859) and the Art Deco Thomas J. Rusk Building (1939). This district includes one of the highest concentrations of architect-designed homes in the city including several by Dietrich Rulfs and also has Arts & Crafts, Mission, Tudor Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival examples. There are several churches in the district which add to its architectural diversity and importance in Nacogdoches society.

  • The Heritage Center also assisted Mr. Robert Z. Selden in his project “Reconstructing Washington Square.” Information regarding this project can be found here.
  • The 2010 summer surveys were completed by Ryan Gullett. In 2012 Dr. Beisel transferred Mr. Gullett’s survey work into the revised FileMakerPro/MS Access database format.
  • You can view the original 1992 National Register nomination here. Note that this is a large file and may take some time to load. Please note that the architectural descriptions in the nomination were taken from the Victor & Victor survey and so there may be little or no difference between those entries on the individual pages.
