The Robertson House was built in 1909; it is a Popular House with Queen Ann stylistic influence. This house is two stories and also features a basement. The inset porch is graced with Doric columns on wooden box supports. The decorative screen door is just one of the many details that make the house charming and true to the era. This home was built for H. E. Robertson, his wife Maude and their two sons, Fred and Obie. From 1908 – 1913, Mr. Robertson owned Robertson Williams and Company, a dry goods store on Granbury’s town square. Mr. Robertson was also an executive officer at Hood County State Bank, in charge of loans on chattel. The home was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Pâté in 1919, and the family owned the home until 1927. The Robertson House was then purchased by J. M. Baker, a Methodist minister, and remained in that family until 1939. Joe Enoch, a local filling station proprietor, purchased the house in 1939 and made the first major renovations to the structure, including indoor plumbing. The house went through several more owners and alterations, eventually reaching a state of disrepair. The current owners, Bill and Fran Hilton, bought the house in 1996, and with the help of Bill’s father have lovingly restored the home to its former glory. The H. E. Robertson House was designated a Granbury Historical Landmark by the City of Granbury Historic Commission September 5, 2000. This information was obtained from their website.
