           The Carleton House Bed & Breakfast

    Located in the heart of historic downtown Bonham, Texas just one hour northeast of Dallas  is the Historic Carleton House Bed & Breakfast. The House was built in 1888 by A.J. Clendenen, who operated a grocery and produce store on the square. In 1914 , Dr. J. C. Carleton purchased the home for his family and electricity was introduced at this time.
    This newly renovated three story Victorian, listed on the National Register of Historic Homes, features a large entrance hall, a parlor, dining room with ceiling mural, music room, breakfast area and a large staircase leading to the bedrooms. We are also fortunate enough to have one of the two remaining carriage stones left in Fannin County.
    The home, sitting on a landscaped half acre with remnants of its original gardens is also available for weddings and parties or just an evening stroll.
