Missouri-born Asa P. ("Ace") Borger (1888-1934), founder of Borger, established other cities in Texas and Oklahoma before platting this townsite in 1926 and helping transform a rowdy oil town into a stable community. In 1928-29 he and his wife Elizabeth (1888-1933) built this two-story home, the first brick residence in Borger. It was later occupied by the families of their daughter and son-in-law, Helen and Fritz Thompson, and of their grandson, David W. Thompson.
