Booker Home

Glen Rose, Somervell County

Marker Text

This home was built in the early 1870s by William G. McCamant, who came to Texas about 1856. McCamant, who had worked for the creation of Somervell County, was appointed one of the county's first commissioners. The house was sold to Civil War veteran George L. Booker in 1896, during his 36-year tenure as county surveyor. The house features 18-inch thick walls made of limestone that was quarried nearby. The chimneys on other end are typical of 1870s frontier homes. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1963
