History
11
The Humphris-Humphreys House was the home of rancher, merchant, and community leader John Humphris and his wife Mary. Built in 1883 by local builder Saturnino Naborette, the house represents traditional building methods of early pioneer days in west Texas, with a central hallway and four rooms on either side. In 1915, schoolteacher Sally Humphreys, wife of rancher Joe Humphreys, purchased the house and ran a boardinghouse there until 1937.
