Headquarters for the pioneering C.C. Slaughter Ranch stood at the center of 246,669 acres in Cochran and Hockley counties. Colonel C. C. Slaughter, a leader in banking, ranching, and religious life in Texas, purchased the land from 1898 to 1901. The first headquarters was a half-dugout. In 1915, the C. C. Slaughter Cattle Company, Inc., brought men from Mexico to build this adobe and concrete quadrangle in the style of a Spanish hacienda. It was one of the finest Texas ranch buildings of its era.
