Marker Text This Meadowbrook Addition home, designed by architect Charles T. Freelove, was built in 1939. The first residents were Alvin Peter “A.P.” (1899-1965) and Jane (Branch) Noyes (1906-1992) and their two children. A.P. served Kilgore as a city engineering consultant, designing several civic improvements. He also was active in professional associations and boards. A.P. and Jane remained in the home the rest of their lives, after which the home was sold to new owners. The Tudor revival structure features a travertine exterior with oak and plaster gables and tile shingle roof, as well as original interior details. RECORDED TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK – 2023
