This 2-story residence was built by Alabama-born John Jefferson (Jack) Durham (1835-1921), who settled in Hamilton County about 1860. He lived on his large ranch before erecting this town home in 1884. The stone for the structure came from his land. Durham, a teacher, rancher and merchant, served as a director of Hamilton College, 1884-89. He donated $5,000 to help bring a railroad here in 1907. This house was purchased in 1973 by Rusty Burkett, who restored it. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1976
