Can you imagine a thriving farmland just a few steps from where you’re standing? We’re standing right in front of the W. P. Cochran Homeplace Plaque, which marks the historical spot where a grand Victorian house once stood. William P. Cochran, a man born in 1841, built this house in 1895. His family, including his wife Amanda and their large family, called it home for many years. You see, the land where the house was built was purchased by William’s father in 1851. It was a family affair, as William’s mother, Nancy Jane Cochran, donated a portion of the land in 1856 for the Cochran Chapel Methodist Church, which you can see just behind this plaque. The family owned the land for a long time but in 1964, their granddaughter Anne A. Cochran sold the structure to the church. In 1976, the Texas Historical Commission recognized the house as a recorded historical landmark, and that is why we see this plaque standing here today, reminding us of the rich history and legacy of the Cochran family. The house might be gone but the memories of the Cochrans and their impact on the Dallas community remain, inscribed in this piece of bronze.
