History

Built in 1874 for use as an office building, this structure was moved in 1879 from Fort Griffin. Its owner, Edgar Rye, was a newspaper publisher, cartoonist, and holder of numerous elective offices. In 1896, Rye sold the building to Anna F. Caperton, who modified its appearance in 1902-06 and used it as a home. Sold again in 1906, it was converted to apartments in the 1940s and restored as a single-family dwelling in the 1990s.
