It has four corner pavilions (flankers) and originally had galleries on all sides.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an uncommon example of late Greek Revival architecture in Texas, notable for its four corner pavilions, a plan traced to Mulberry Plantation in South Carolina. It is the second-oldest house still standing in Liberty. It was built by Judge C. L. Cleveland and owned from 1886 to 1983 by the influential Partlow family.","narrative":"Built around 1860 for Judge C. L. Cleveland, a Kentucky native, this one-story clapboard house at 2131 Grand Avenue in Liberty, Texas, is an unusual late example of Greek Revival design with modest Italianate influence. Its square plan has a central hall and four main rooms, with a pavilion at each corner that was once linked by encircling galleries. The plan resembles Mulberry Plantation in South Carolina, and local tradition says Cleveland added the pavilions for his four sons. The house is the second-oldest still standing in Liberty and was named a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1963. The Partlow family owned it from 1886 until 1983; family members included civic leaders, and Texas Governor Price Daniel was a nephew of the last owner. Later changes include a kitchen addition, the removal of the northwest pavilion, and enclosed side porches. The house was bequeathed to the Texas State Library Commission and is planned to open as a house museum.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown (built by Judge C. L.
