Frank Kell Home

Picture
    Native Texan Frank Kell (1859 - 1941),
in partnership with his brother-in-law
Joseph A. Kemp, became a 
prominent area businessman and
civic leader. His developments in
the grain business, banking, real
estate, and railroad construction
helped make Wichita Falls the 
economic center of this region. In
1909 he had this classical revival
house built for his family. Designed
by the firm of Jones and Orlopp,
it was owned by descendants of
Frank Kell for over 70 years.
