The footprints extend from the corner of Louisiana and College all the way back to the driveway, with only "T.A.H & Samson Dog" identifying their provenance. Why T.A.H. didn't leave his footprints is unknown.
This is a private residence, previously a bed and breakfast, but the sidewalk is open to visitors. A Texas Historical Marker is on the front of the house, and it says:
Square nails used on the first floor of this Queen Anne style residence suggest a construction date before the late 1880s. Originally a one-story structure, the second and third floors were added soon after 1900, when the home was purchased by Louis Alfred Scott (1852-1934), who became a successful McKinney businessman and active civic leader. Outstanding features of the home include its octagon tower, gingerbread detailing, and Colonial Revival porch.
