11. The Millard-Lee House (1837) - This family home and boarding house was built by Robert Millard, great-grandfather of Mrs. Thomas, and was later purchased by the Lee family, whose daughter Emily lived in the house until her death in 1970. The structure was originally located just off the square on South Fredonia Street, where the parking lot for Regions Bank is now located. One of the earliest milled timber buildings constructed in Nacogdoches, it is known as one of the best examples of the "two story double house" (one side a mirror image of the other) still standing in Texas. The rooms were large enough to accommodate boarders, when necessary, and provide good ventilation. This house also features a "double entry staircase" utilized by servants and family to attend to the upstairs sleeping quarters from the kitchen.
