One of the most beautiful homes in Waco, East Terrace enjoys an open view of the peaceful Brazos River. Resting under the shade of large elm trees, East Terrace offers a rare Texas example of Italianate Villa architecture, with arched windows and thin columns decorating the entire front of the house. The original owner, pioneer industrialist John Wesley Mann, preferred to decorate the interior in the Victorian style, and his original pier mirror and Eastlake-style desk are still showcased in the house.
