    This two-story ranch house was erected about 1888 for Watt W. Caufield (1860-1935) and his wife, Kate McLennan Caufield (1861-1957), granddaughter of pioneer Neil McLennan, for whom McLennan County was named. Caufield's uncle, surveyor and contractor Watson Caufield, who came to Texas from Ireland, constructed the residence of lumber hauled from Houston. It was built near a spring and creek on land given to Caufield by his father, Henry J. Caufield, a prominent rancher. Later enlarged and remodeled, the structure is owned (1976) by Caufield descendants. (1976)
