Welcome History Welcome to the historic Abernathy House, located at 406 Quitman Street, Pittsburg, Texas. This lovely Queen Ann Victoria style home was built in 1896 by D.H. Abernathy, a prominent dry goods merchant in Pittsburg, Texas. His wife, Mary Lou Pitts Abernathy was the niece of Major W.H. Pitts, who founded Pittsburg. The home was also the birthplace and longtime residence of D.H. Abernathy, the son of the original owner who has served as the Mayor of Pittsburg for the last 49 years.
