| Marker Text | Built in the early 1890s, this house was deeded by prominent Belton businessman Peter Hammersmith to his son, John Peter, as a wedding gift in 1895. The property was sold to Sophie Clark, widow of a Rogers lumberman, in 1899. During World War II, the home was converted to a duplex to help ease the housing shortage at Fort Hood (19 mi.W). Featuring semi-circular shingle bargeboards, the house remained in the Clark family for over eighty years. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1982 |
