OWN A PIECE OF LAMPASAS HISTORY! This stately 1940's era home, stands proudly on over one acre in the middle of Lampasas. The well-kept beauty was built by Dr. Rollins, the founder of Lampasas Rollins Brook Hospital and a prominent member of the early Lampasas community. This historical home has been lovingly maintained and restored throughout the decades and includes most of the original architectural features and details.
Enter through the massive double door framed by large columns on a porch that widely spans the front. The entrance opens into the beautiful formal living room where a large fireplace invites you to relax. Both the lovely formal dining and living room have gorgeous matching crystal chandeliers that are believed to have been imported from Czechoslovakia to Texas by the doctor for his new home.

The spacious kitchen takes you back to a simpler time. (You can almost smell the apple pie grandma just baked!) It is filled with period piece cabinets and hutches and tiled counters. But it also has all the modern conveniences and appliances we have learned to love. Another quaint feature showing off more of the character of the home is the original laundry chute located off the kitchen. A convenient utility / laundry room is also located near the kitchen.
From the kitchen you can go down the service stairs to the lower 1536- square foot partial- basement. The basement also provides back yard access which, as the story goes, had been a vital key to many poker games back in the day. Supposedly the gentlemen would come and go from the back yard access, thereby leaving Mrs. Rollins and the children undisturbed.
Back on the first floor you will find even more rooms that include a large study, one bedroom and a bathroom, utility room, and a spacious light-filled Sun room.
From the living room you can enjoy walking up the original winding wooden staircase with wrought iron banister to the second floor. This gorgeous staircase is such a thing of beauty and a decorators dream! Once you are upstairs you will find a wonderful den with the original wood-slat walls, as well as four bedrooms each with private access to one of the two upstairs bathrooms in a most convenient and unique layout.
The master bedroom has two closets and French doors which lead to the widow's walk / balcony with wrought iron railing that overlooks the expansive yard and neighborhood. Imagine such a serene place to start and end each day!
Throughout the home you will enjoy walking on the polished original hardwood floors that add to the overall beauty and enjoyment of this lovely home in Lampasas, filled with both history and character of another bygone era.
