Marker Text:
A lawyer who made a fortune during the oil boom in this area, Fred Weeks (1888-1977) erected this elegant home in 1924-26. Designed by Kansas City architect J.F. Louck, the mansion stood in the middle of a 13-acre landscaped tract. Local brickmason Walter McAbee laid the specially made Kansas bricks. The Weeks family often hosted musical recitals here. Two later owners, George F. LeBus (1876-1956) and Charles H. Featherston (1886-1969), were also oilmen. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1978 Incise: Restored by John M. Hirschi in 1977
