Meux House
1007 R Street
Fresno
Built: 1888
The Meux House was built in 1888 by Dr. Thomas Richard Meux. Despite
the elaborate appearance of the Queen Anne design, the millwork consists of
stock parts, and no architect is credited with the design.
Dr. Meux, from Tennessee, had graduated from the University of Virginia
and served as an officer in the Confederate Army before migrating to Fresno
in 1887. He occupied his new home at the corner of Tulare and R streets
near the Santa Fe Depot
until his death in 1929 at the age of 91. The house remained in the Meux family until
1970.
Today it is owned by the city of Fresno and operated as the
Meux Home Museum.
