Marker Text | F. A. Brown Farm Home Situated on the Peters Colony headright granted to Calvin G. Cole in 1854, this frame Victorian farmhouse was built before 1885, when Francis Asbury Brown (1836 - 1922) purchased it along with 200 acres of farmland. His son Ernest (1868 - 1943) later occupied the residence and operated a dairy farm. Preserved by Ernest Brown's daughter and son-in-law, Anna and William T. Baker, this structure survived the urban growth that absorbed many rural homes around Dallas. RTHL 1976 |
