Today, the house is used for commercial purposes, and it is a Registered Texas Historic Landmark and a Wichita Falls Landmark. A 1984 Texas Historical Marker provides some background:

Local builders W. Lee Moore and James A. Richolt constructed this residence in 1893-95 for Samuel H. Hodges, an attorney and real estate investor. The late Victorian style house has a wraparound porch and Eastlake detailing. Hodges sold the property in 1910 to Dan Hardy, a merchant, oilman, and landowner. Hardy and his wife Myrtle were prominent philanthropists and civic leaders. The house remained in their family for over 70 years.
