Notes
  • STORED ON SITE. mchr
  • Significance: Old Place was moved from the west bank of Clear Creek in 1970 and is thought to be the oldest remaining structure in Harris County. It was probably built by John R. Williams, an Austin colonist, about 1824. Mr. Williams was issued the title to the labor of land on which Old Place originally stood on July 27, 1824. Because each colonist was required to erect a dwelling and improve the land they purchased within two years in order to "prove" or take full legal possession of the land, and because Williams was able to sell his labor one year after he was issued the title, it

is assumed that he built some sort of structure on the labor. That structure is believed to be Old Place.
