Jones Mansion

Jones Mansion. . , Prominent area rancher Thomas Stanley Jones, a native of Wales, had this home built in 1910 for his wife, Rosalie (Whaley), and their children. Designed by Amarillo architect E. Wellington, it was the first brick residence constructed in Canadian. Reflecting its builder's prominence in the town, the Classical Revival mansion features monumental Ionic columns, red brick corner quoins, and Renaissance detailing. , Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1983, Additional marker: , By 2007, this old mansion was quite deteriorated and suffering from water damage. Dr. Malouf and Therese Abraham, who have done many preservation projects, rescued it and "took it back to the studs." Therese, like Rosalie Jones, was from the Deep South and she felt the house had never been totally finished, so the Abrahams added all the cast iron work on three levels. A new kitchen wing and walled gardens were added. the interiors were done in the style of the Old South. When the Abrahams finished this major restoration, they named it "Hill Crest"...and it is.
