Marker Text:
Designed by local contractor J.D. Singleton and built for the widow of prominent Texas Ranger and rancher W.R. Curtis, the Alice Victoria Ghormley Curtis House was erected in 1906-1907. Mrs. Curtis (1869-1923) moved to Amarillo after her husband's death in 1901. She raised the youngest of her five children and a granddaughter in the house. An excellent example of an early 20th century Classical Revival dwelling, the home features Tuscan columns supporting a Classical entablature.

Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1998
