McClanahan-Trapp
House
Built in the 1880s,
this home was purchased by local businessman and merchant Robert Hugh
McClanahan, Jr., in 1913. He served as county tax collector and was
postmaster of Coldspring
from 1914 until his death in 1940. When the town square was relocated
after a 1915 fire destroyed the old courthouse, McClanahan had his
home turned to face the new town. The home was known as a haven for
travelers and visitors to Coldspring
for many years. Following McClanahan's death, the house was owned
by his son-in-law, Marshall Douglas Trapp.
