This simple, wood-frame bungalow duplex has served as a rental and owner-occupied residence primarily for workings in the Texas and Pacific Lancaster Railroad Yards. George W. Deats, who had been a master mechanic for Texas & Pacific Railroad, purchased the site in 1928, the year that the Lancaster Railroad Yards (South of 3900 block of Vickery Boulevard) were relocated to this area. His widow, Mary, retained the rental property until 1933.
