M.B. Sawyer Ranch House
History
1
The M.B. Sawyer Ranch House was the home of Monroe Brown Sawyer and his wife Rebecca Sawyer, née Skeen, and was built in 1902. As one of the earliest homes in Terry County, it predated the town of Brownfield. Materials for its original five rooms were hauled by wagon from Colorado City and Big Spring. The house has been extensively remodeled. In 1881 and 1882, M. B. Sawyer served as a Texas Ranger in Company C of the Frontier Battalion, and he expanded 21 sections of land, bought in 1901, into a 33-section ranch.
