Marker Text:
James Calvin Rhea (1837-1925) came to Texas from Tennessee in 1855. He and his brother, W.A. Rhea, built a gristmill in the Collin county community that became known as Rhea Mills. Built about 1890 by John W. Hamilton, this home features Eastlake style elements in its wraparound veranda, ornamental woodwork, and sunburst panels. The home remained in the Rhea family until 1956. A Civil War Veteran, Rhea and his wife Mary are buried nearby in Pecan Grove Cemetery. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1989 Incise on base: Restoration completed by Harry E. and Rebecca Sue McKillop
