Ace of Clubs House Website »
The Ace of Clubs House is a unique Victorian Era home built in 1885 in the shape of the ace of clubs. It is said that James Draughon had the house built from winnings from a card game based on his winning card, the ace of clubs. The house was occupied for 100 years by three families. The Moore family donated the house and their furniture and belongings to the Texarkana Museums System in 1985.
