Brown Dorsey House 

213 N. Weatherford Street, Midland, TX 79701

Owned, restored, and maintained by the Midland Historical Society, this home, built in 1899, is reportedly the oldest house in Midland. The historic Victorian style residence, decorated with furnishings from the 1800s, features a magnificent Gothic art glass window in the entry.

Believed to be the oldest house in Midland, the home remained in the Brown family until 1969. To learn more about this historic site, click here.

The Brown-Dorsey home is a recorded Texas Historic Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. It is under the management of the Midland Historical Society. 

Tours are currently not available.
The Home is undergoing some much-needed renovation. Plans are to resume tours and special open house days when that is completed. Watch the society website and the society Facebook page (Midland Texas Historical Society) for updates.
