Effort to Save Herriman Mansion Faces High Costs
The Herriman mansion near Wadena, built in 1860 by Maj. David Herriman, faces a stalled preservation campaign. Mayor Ed Gage says progress is blocked by a $500,000 repair bill and the owner's refusal to sell, though Eldon Leath of DeKalb Texas offered to donate the building if moved. Everett Zupke notes moving is costly and unsatisfactory, leaving little hope unless the owner reconsiders.
