The house is on the rigth (north) side of the street.br/ br/Text: This masonry residence resembles other buildings in the community, including several officerrsquo;s quarters at the military post of Fort Davis. Completed in 1908 by B. H. Grierson Jr., the house incorporates pink volcanic rock known as tuff that exemplifies early 20th century construction. In 1912, a fire destroyed much of the structure, but local rancher and County Sheriff Franklin Sproul directed the restoration of the home. It is due in large part to the Sproul family that the residence became a center for community activities. The home now serves as an architectural link to the military and agricultural history of West Texas.
