Constructed in 1880, this home originally housed a private boys' school known as Stafford Military Academy. When financial difficulties forced the school to close in 1886, Willis Lang Falconer, who had moved to Marlin from Mississippi in 1885, purchased it as a residence. Falconer's family became well known for its community service and maintained the home for more than 80 years. An interesting feature of the house is its formal Doric temple facade.
