A surgeon in the Confederate Army, Dr. Joseph E. Dulaney (d. 1877) came to McKinney after the Civil War (1861-65) and married Lucy Ann Field (1844-1941), daughter of Collin County pioneers. In 1875 he built this Victorian home with its numerous gables and fine porch detailing. Mrs. Dulaney lived here until 1910 with her children Corinne (d. 1960) and Joseph Field Dulaney (d. 1968), a pharmacist who donated land across the street for a public library.
