ARMSTRONG BROWNING LIBRARY REVIEWS
This is an amazing experience you should see. There are items you will not just see anywhere. This is a tribute to both Robert and Elizabeth Browning. The items are rare and beautiful and should be seen. Come check out this gem if you are in Waco. It was free and a great history lesson for kids. This was a wonderful treat and helped us escape the heat.
Beautiful ornate library with a vast collection of Browning research and material. Check out the ceiling that has been compared to the one in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Free to visit and to admire near Baylor's campus. Quiet! Also, nice outside wooden furniture to relax and study.
The prettiest building at Baylor and one of Waco's finest. A great visit for anyone interested in architecture, design, history, literature, poetry or just pretty things. So cool. Huge shout-out to Rachel Bates for our amazing tour!!!

East Terrace Museum is a well-maintained museum in Waco, TX. The Museum aims to preserve Waco's and McLennan County's heritage for future generations while stimulating diverse experiences. In 1858, industrialist J. W. Mann built this beautiful house for his bride, Cemira. Mr. Mann was interested in several businesses, including the brick company that furnished the bricks used in constructing the Waco Suspension Bridge, serving as a pivotal economic, cultural, and overall landmark for Waco. The Museum educates visitors about Waco's history by preserving their historic houses. The architectural style of this house is Italianate Villa. One of the character-defining architectural features of this style of architecture is the tower room. Many objects and furnishings within this home are original to the Mann family, including the cast iron bathtub in the bathroom.

EAST TERRACE MUSEUM REVIEWS
Beautiful historic property inside and out. Many wonderful antiques...lighting, cut glass, Haviland China, primitives, textiles, quilts, iron toys...etc. Our host gave an impressive tour and pointed out many architectural gems. She herself having been educated in American Cabinet/furniture makers was a wealth of knowledge. We really enjoyed spending time with her shared knowledge.
Wonderful! The house is gorgeously restored, the tour guide was excellent, and much of the furniture is original to the house. The current debutante exhibit was very interesting, and the tour guide was able to answer all of our questions knowledgeably. One of the best historical house tours I’ve ever had the pleasure of being on.
This place is definitely worth visiting. It has a lot of interesting things to see. It's pretty cheap to get in. Go on the tour it makes it even better. The tour guide was very nice and informative.
