The house was built as a speculative home by a builder
who later became an active residential developer in
Lakewood. The home stood empty for one year and was
purchased in 1917 for $14,000 by the Browne family. It is
known in the neighborhood as –the Alamo.” The house won the 1987 Restoration House of the Year Award. (Dallas/Fort Worth Home and Garden, July 1987, p8).
