In April of 1892, William Blair made the run into the Cheyenne Arapaho Territory and filed a claim on a quarter section southwest of what later became Weatherford. He found a log cabin on the bank of a canyon about 200 yards south of Route 66, west of town. He did not know who the cabin belonged to, but thought it must have been built 10-15 years earlier by early-day trappers. Blair and his bride, Frances, lived in the cabin, where two of their four children were born, one in 1900 and the other in 1902. The Blairs later moved to Weatherford and built a home on the property now owned by Weatherford City Hall, whose large meeting room is named Blair Hall in honor of these Weatherford pioneers. The Blairs sold their quarter section to the Regan family, who then sold it to Ernie Kendall. Kendall moved the cabin from its original location to a little valley near Highway 54 and Route 66. Later, the Kendall Estate donated the cabin to the City of Weatherford, and a self-appointed cabin committee arranged to move it to its present location. In 1925, Blair and Frances had a fourth child, Vashti Blair Grossarth. She and her husband Jerry, Weatherford residents, spent many hours with her father and mother learning the history of the cabin before William Blair's death in 1950 and Frances Blair's in 1967. The cabin is the oldest building in Weatherford and is a treasure to the community.
