The two-story red-brick structure, located at 112 East Murphy Street (east of the downtown Odessa area), was built in 1887; it is the oldest surviving structure in the city. The rooms in the White-Pool House parallel two significant periods of [[history]]: (1) The 1880s during the pioneer era when it was built and occupied by the White family and (2) The 1930s during the [[oil]] boom when it was the home of the Pool family. In the back of the house are a [[windmill]], a [[barn]] and other farm buildings, and an outhouse of handmade blocks dating from the founding. In the barn is a display of permanent exhibits of horse-drawn equipment.
