Marker Text | Erected in 1871, this structure of hand-cut native limestone is perhaps the oldest still standing in Liberty Hill. it was built by S.P. Stubblefield (1824-1902), a native of Alabama and veteran of the Mexican War (1846-48), and owned by his family until 1907. The lower floor has housed various stores and businesses, while the upper floor was often used as living quarters. In 1973 the building was bought and restored by sculptor Mel Fowler.
