Inscription
James Hogan Doyle and Mary Kate Stringfellow Doyle A native of South Carolina, James Hogan Doyle (1846-1933) fought with the Confederacy during the Civil War, was recognized for his bravery and made his way to Texas about 1870. He settled in the Granbury area and purchased this property in town in 1876.
Doyle established himself as a prominent merchant, banker and civic leader, serving several terms as treasurer for Hood County. In 1879, he married Mary Kate Stringfellow (1861-1942), member of an early Granbury family. Their home on this site was built about 1880 and enlarged by 1900 to accommodate their family of three children.
The property remained in the Doyle family until 1939. (2002)
