Marker Inscription
Homer Patrick (1901-1955) and mollie (Biard) McCartney (1899-1990) commissioned noted Dallas architect Charles S. Dilbeck and local contactor Fin Garvin to build their family home which was completed in Jan. 1939. Dilbeck’s whimsical design for a French eclectic style home is evident in the irregularly coursed limestone, brick and rough timber façade, turret with Juliet balcony, Dutch door entry, leaded glass windows and dormers. Notable interior features include a large front hearth, decorative rosettes on the doors, and a diamond-patterned oak ceiling in the dining room. The house remained in the McCartney family until 1983.
