Corwin F. Doan (1848-1929) settled here on the Red River in 1878 and erected this house in 1881. In his early picket store and later permanent building, he kept large stocks of goods to supply the cowboys who annually drove cattle in herds of thousands along the Western Trail. The village of Doan's Crossing had 14 or more buildings. In this adobe house, Doan, his wife Lide (1850-1905), and their 3 children entertained people from all walks of life, from English lords to Indians.
