| Marker Text | The Sanzenbacher Ranch began in 1873 when German immigrant Johann (John) Sanzenbacher (1797-1879) bought land in south Clay County near the Fort Richardson- Fort Still military road and the Little Wichita River. Sanzenbacher descendants have continuously operated the ranch since that time. The ranch has operated under several brands, including the original Circle J (1875) and the Cross Turkey Track (1899), which is still in use today. This home was constructed in 1890; the original design was a two-story I-plan house built of dressed stone with arched windows, with two rooms on either side of a center passage. Additions including a two-story rear extension and the front facade columned portico were added by 1910. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2009 |
