    Built in 1874 by J. N. Stuart (1837-1910) and wife, Sally Allen Stuart (1835-1918), of materials hauled by ox-wagon from east Texas. A ship builder, Andrew Murdock, joined frame with pegs. House was first in area to have milled lumber and window glass. Four sons, all successful in later business life, were reared here. The youngest, Sally James Stuart (named for his mother and father), became owner in 1910 -- the same year he wed Margaret Gordon. House became a stopping place for circuit riders, public officials, travelers, and friends; still owned by Margaret Stuart. (1971)
