BonFire PTX
Originally known as Ludwick Grocer, this historical building was built in 1916 after the Great Fire of Paris. Since then, this piece of history has served many ventures over the years before being purchased by 247 Mesa. In July 2025, we proudly opened BonFire to continue the story, a place where people can experience crafted cuisine that nurtures both the body and the planet.
Culbertson House
Designed by Tulsa architect A. J. Knapp, the J. J. Culbertson House was completed in 1921. The Culbertson Family was instrumental in helping to rebuild the city after the great Paris fire of 1916. Perhaps their most noteworthy contribution to the city was the Culbertson Fountain, constructed of Carrara Marble at the center of the town in 1927.
Scott Mansion
The Scott Mansion, designed by St. Louis architect J. L. Wees and constructed in 1910, was built for the family of Rufus Fenner Scott, Sr., a prominent businessperson in Paris, Texas. Preserved by the Roden Family for over 90 years, the house showcases a unique blend of Art Nouveau and Dutch Renaissance architectural styles. As a survivor of the Paris fire, it remains a significant landmark, symbolizing the area’s resilience and growth in the early twentieth century.
