"THE HENRY F. HASWELL HOUSE

Henry Forrest Haswell came to Cedar Hill the late 1800s as a Notary Public with the railway and worked as a bookkeeper for several retail merchants in Dallas. Here he met and married Margaret and Merrifield in 1895. In addition to his bookkeeping job, he also built houses and Cedar Hill. He built the house at 115 Roberts Street in 1898 to accommodate his growing family. The one-story T-shaped structure has Victorian styling and features a gable roof with dormer window over a three-sided protrusion, each with double hung sash windows.
