"Built in 1898-99 to house the general offices of the 3,000,000-acre XIT Ranch. This building served that purpose until 1912. Five railroad cars of bricks were brought in to construct the office, which features Victorian-era detailing in its wraparound porch, decorative eave brackets and turned wood columns. Designed to impress visitors to the ranch, the building's Victorian elements distinguished it from the surrounding ranching environment." ~ State Historical Survey Committee, 1964
