Boelsche House, located at 8482 Bermuda
Street in Industry, Texas, was the home of Lenora and William F. Boelsche and their twelve
children. It sits on property which has been in the Boelsche family since the
1860's.
The house was moved to its present site in 1890 and
given fully furnished to Nora and Willie as a wedding gift from her parents, the Emil
Knolle's. The house has been unoccupied since 1959, but remained fully
furnished. Many of the original furnishings, are still in the dwelling and include a
bedroom suite, a piano, some beds, tables and chairs.
The dining room, which is in a portion of the house
added at a later date, features a table for fourteen which was constructed inside the
room. Also at the rear of the home is a screened porch and deck that look out over
the Mill Creek Valley.
The Boelsche House was fully restored in 2002 for use as
a bed and breakfast and special occasion venue, by sisters-in-law Joyce Marik and Mary
Powell.
The current owners are Mary Powell and her children Anna
& Mark, 3rd and 4th generations of the Boelsche family.
