Jefferson's past is evident in a number of historical buildings reminiscent of the Old South. An example is House of the Seasons at 409 S. Alley St., built in 1872 in transitional style between Greek Revival and Victorian, with Italianate details. The house's name comes from its unusual cupola, which has stained-glass windows representing the seasons of the year. Guided tours are given by appointment for a fee; phone (903) 665-8000.
