This week’s random image is of the old Woodmen’s Circle Home in Sherman, Texas that took back in March, 2021 during a road trip to explore the backroads west of Sherman, Texas. When the old mansion was built it was just outside of town but as Sherman grew into to town it is today its now surrounded by houses and businesses.
Woodmen’s Circle Home
In November 1928 ground was broken on a hill a few miles west of Sherman. The original property was 240 acres and was formerly known as the LeBaron Farm.
In 1930 the main building was opened received its first members. In 1933 the Pennsylvania Building was built and the west wing addition was in 1940-41.
Sadly the home was closed in 1962 (timeline shows the home closing in 1971) when the Woodmen Circle and the Woodmen of the World merged. The property was sold in 1972 to five local businessmen.

About the Image
The image was shot on a late gloomy morning. I used my Sony a6000 and my Sony SELP18105G E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS lens and then edited with Adobe Lightroom CC, Topaz Labs A.I. Clear, Topaz Labs Denoise AI, Topaz Labs Sharpen AI, and DXO NIK Collection
