John David Stiff (1853-1909) and his wife Blanche (Duer) (1866-1950) built this residence in 1893, the same year the first of their two children was born. A merchant, Stiff owned a dry goods business on the town square. His home features influences of the Queen Anne style. Interesting elements include the paired dormers and the fish scale shingling. Members of the Stiff family owned the house until 1971. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1986
