William Clinton (Clint) Thompson, and his wife Anna Belle (Wofford), prominent local newspaper owners and civic leaders, built this house in 1894 on land purchased from Clint's father, noted McKinney developer Dr. Francis M.

The house remained in the Thompson Family until 1979. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1994
