The Ferguson family built this cobblestone home in 1927. Ben and Margaret Ferguson and their 10 children grew hay and garden vegetables, raised cattle, and planted a small fruit orchard with help from the oldest sons. In 1930, Ben built a small gas station and store where the family sold vegetables and fruit in season. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The house is significant as an example of cannonball architecture, a building style that used local pink granite cobblestones and appeared in only a few places across the nation where natural cobblestones were plentiful but wood for construction was scarce. Other examples of cannonball architecture are found throughout Comanche County and along Medicine Creek in Medicine Park.
