Built about 1840 during the ownership of Dr. L. B. Harris, this house evolved over the years to meet the needs of its owners. It had assumed its basic appearance by 1887, and the wraparound porch with jigsawn trim was constructed about 1900. Owners and residents of the house have included Harriet and James P. Wallace, an early Texas Ranger and soldier in the Republic of Texas army; and Mollie and James S. Holme, a brickmason who supervised Civilian Conservation Corps work at Bastrop State Park in the 1930s. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1991
