A flamboyant political leader, Wigfall strongly advocated secession and states' rights. He served as a State Legislator, United States Senator, and Confederate Senator. during the Civil War (1861-1865), Confederate officers often stayed at the Wigfall home. Later owners enlarged the structure and added Victorian features.
