The house is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1981 Texas Historical Marker at the door provides some background:
This Victorian residence with ornate gingerbread woodwork was built in 1899 for the family of Eugene Fore. In 1913 it was sold to Camp County Sheriff J.D. Stafford, who lived here for 24 years. Dr. Ernest Paris, a prominent local chiropractor, and his wife Margret, bought the home in 1941. Other community leaders who resided here include Dr. R.Y. Lacy and Dr. R.C. Treynham, whose wife Cora was the stepdaughter of W.H. Pitts, for whom the town was named.

At present, the house is yellow white white trim. Notable Queen Anne elements include its asymmetric layout, which includes a porch that covers most of the front façade, a gabled roof, overhanging eaves, and gingerbread detail.
