A masterpiece of residential stone construction, built by stonemason J. B. Huffman in 1919-20 at a cost of about $80,000. Huffman owned a stoneyard near Pioneers’ Rest Cemetery and participated in the construction of a number of important public buildings in Texas. These included the Graham County Courthouse, as well as the old federal building and post office in Fort Worth, now demolished. His house is constructed of grey Indiana limestone blocks, quarry-faced and laid in regular horizontal courses. A full front porch and side pergola utilize stone Tuscan columns. The house has a staggered plan with interlocking hipped roofs of green tile. The family lived here another 30 years after the death of J. B. Huffman in 1925. The house appears to be eligible for the National Register. The Huffman House is a contributing resource in the Fairmount-Southside Historic District (local and national).
