Tradition says architect Abner Cook built this house for Ruben and Mary Runner, about 1855. Some later owners were F.E. Chandler and H.E. Shelley, lawyers, 1863-1909; The May Thompson family, 1917-69. Originally the house faced east preempting the entire 1700 block, Rio Grande to West Avenue, with a separate kitchen, carriage house, other structures on the grounds. Server changes and decay precede the beginning of restoration by the Travis Williamson family in 1970. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1974
