Waggoner-Hicks
House
Spottswood Lomax,
a founder of the noted Matador and Espuela (Spur) ranches of Texas,
built a Queen Anne house here in 1890. It was remodeled in the colonial
revival style around the turn of the century by the prominent cattleman
W. T. "Tom" Waggoner, who deeded it to his son, local banker Guy Leslie
Waggoner, in 1904. Three years later, Vernon
farmer and oil investor E. P. Hicks purchased the property and it
remained in his family until 1967.

Home
Completed in 1906,
this colonial revival residence was constructed for Sterling P. Huff.
An attorney, Huff became Justice of the 46th District Court and was
later elected to the 7th Court of Civil Appeals. In 1914 local attorney
William David Berry purchased the home. A former eductor and a prominent
civic leader, Berry served as city attorney of Vernon
and as Wilbarger County Attorney. The interior of the house features
elaborate Victorian detailing.
