The roadside stories worth pulling over for.
A cabin-dotted Woodland in 1870, this square soon had buildings of stone quarried less than a mile away. Investor John D. Baker built this structure in 1882 and in 1890 sold it to saloonkeepers Aston and Landers. Extensive repairs were made in 1891, after a fire in this and neighbor buildings. By 1895, ex-county clerk J.R. Morris had a hardware and tin shop here. Lon Morris, a widely-known lawyer and college benefactor, had his offices on the second floor.
Hardware and Tin Shop is a historical marker in Granbury, Hood County, dedicated in 1974. It is one of 60 historical markers documented in Hood County in the Texas Historical Commission Atlas, among 98 historic sites cataloged across the county.
