Believed to be the oldest, unaltered farmhouse on its original site in the city. This circa 1880 two story, five bay wood structure is uncharacteristically large and well detailed for a North Texas farmhouse of the period. It was built by Tennessee native Francis Asbury Brown, and was a working dairy farm that he and his son tended. Much of the farmland was sold after F.A.'s death in 1922. The home stayed in the family for nearly a century until 1985 when ownership was passed to the Historic Preservation League, Inc.
