Believed to have been built in the late 1860s or early 1870s, soon after Cleburne was established, the house is within “water-totin” distance of what became known as City Spring on West Buffalo Creek. This single-story, white clapboard southern colonial cottage was originally the home of Martha Elizabeth Featherston (Aunt Pat) Dotey, sister of prominent Cleburne educator W. B. Featherston (1817-1878). The T.P. Kirkham family acquired the house in 1912 and retained it until 1965. Mr. Kirkham added the rock structure behind the house for use in his business as a hatter.
