The original parlor features soaring ceilings, an ornate fireplace, and a crystal chandelier. The formal dining room can accommodate up to 40 guests for intimate gatherings. Modern amenities have been seamlessly incorporated throughout the house. State-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a fully equipped kitchen ensure that events run smoothly and efficiently. The grounds have also been landscaped to perfection, offering beautiful outdoor spaces for breakout sessions, cocktails, or simply enjoying the Texas sunshine. “We are thrilled to open the doors of the B.B. Brookshire House to the community,” said event coordinator Sarah Jones. “Our goal is to provide a truly special and memorable experience for our guests, where the rich history of the house combines seamlessly with the warm hospitality of Texas.” The B.B. Brookshire House is conveniently located in the heart of Katy, within easy reach of major highways and amenities. Ample parking is available on-site, and the house is fully ADA-accessible. “This project has been a labor of love,” said Dykers. “We have worked tirelessly to preserve the integrity of this historic home while creating a modern and welcoming space for people to gather.
