” E. B. and Mary Harvey Barker bought this house of locally quarried limestone in May 1873. The barkers, who resided on a farm at rice’s crossing (20 mi. e), lived here during the winter season so that their eight children could attend school in round rock. Their son, Dudley, became a noted Texas ranger; he returned to the house in 1940 to etch his birth date on an interior wall. as an intact example of a vernacular center-passage house, the dwelling is a vivid reminder of pioneer architecture.”
