     Built about 1910 by Mr. and Mrs. Jas. R. Holman, 1898 settlers in Monahans. Dad Holman had a lumber and coal business, dray, and livery stable; he met daily trains and took homeseekers of salesmen to the family hotel. One of family's six children was Eugene Holman (1895-1962), petroleum industry leader who rose in 1944 to presidency of Standard Oil of New Jersey, the world's largest oil company. Outstanding in labor relations, he was an advisor to U.S. Dept. of Commerce; won (1960) American Petroleum Institute gold medal for distinguished achievement. (Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, 1966.)
