Historical Marker
     Designed by San Antonio architect Addis Noonan and built by local contractor O. E. Hatchett in 1927-1928, the Morton House is an unusual brick house with mission and Spanish influences. The structure's distinctive features include a brick parapet, tile awnings, classical columns at the main entry door with sidelights, a flat roof and a second-floor covered porch. This was the home of Dr. Albert S. Morton and his wife, Genevieve (Sharpless), a nurse. The family owned the house until 1982. In 1989 it was purchased by the Methodist Church, in which the Mortons were active. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1999
