History
Built in 1871 in Salado, this limestone house is named for two prominent occupants. John Hendrickson was a stone mason who worked on the first Texas State Capitol, Salado College, and Salado's cable suspension footbridge. William J. Caskey moved his family to Salado in 1882 so his children could attend Salado College and later helped establish Thomas Arnold High School. The building also served as the parsonage of Salado's First Baptist Church until 1924. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1995.
