Jack Thomas House
Inscription
First story, east wing of house, was the earliest brick residence in Grayson County. It was built ca. 1810 by Jack Thomas, first county and circuit court clerk. He added two-story brick wing on north, Federal style. Despite alterations of the 1870s-80s, original walls remain. A striking feature of construction is uniform log joists supporting first floor.
