The historic Conroe home of Dr Thomas S. Falvey will receive a historical marker on Dec. 12, honoring its legacy as a notable site in the city’s history.
On December 12, the old home of the pioneering Conroe physician Dr. Thomas S. Falvey will be marked historically. Initially housed in downtown Conroe at 505 North Main, the 1929 house is Child Advocates of Montgomery County's (CASA) offices today.
The dedication ceremony and open house scheduled by the Montgomery County Historical Commission will run from 3 to 4 p.m.
"The former home of Dr. Thomas Falvey was built in 1929," stated Montgomery County Historical Commission chairman Larry Foerster. "It later housed a Methodist church parsonage and law offices before being acquired by CASA in 2021."
With further dedications scheduled for the near future, Foerster pointed out this represents Conroe's eighth county historical marker.
The acknowledgement emphasizes the importance of Dr. Falvey's services to the Conroe community in his early years and helps to maintain his architectural heritage at his house. The fact that the house serves as the headquarters for CASA adds to its significance as a center for Montgomery County child advocacy and support center.
Attending the dedication event will allow residents and history buffs to learn more about the site's legendary heritage and ongoing influence on the neighborhood.
