The Home:
This beautiful home was built in the 1930's by Malcolm and Kati Mai Crim. It was copied from an English Country Place that Mrs. Crim saw when she was traveling in Europe. Jim and Victoria Eggers have restored this classic home to it’s original splendor with highly polished hardwood flooring. Mr. Crim was the first mayor of Kilgore when the city was incorporated in 1931.
