History
David H. and Jerusha Dyches McFadin built this stone house near Taylor about 1850 using native limestone quarried on the property, with walls reported at roughly 27 inches thick. David McFadin, a Tennessee-born early settler who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836, later served as sheriff and county commissioner. The house was recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936, one of only a few Williamson County homes so documented.
