Regarding J. Pearl Jones House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Mr. J. Pearl Jones built this house as his family residence in 1913-1914.The builder was his brother, Lon Jones, with his sons assisting with construction. The house was built from lumber cut on Jones' farm near Eagle Grove nearby in Hart County. Specifications for the structure were exact, given the fact that lumber was cut to fit and brought the the site. The original lot consisted of 8.5 acres. Jones was a farmer who owned approximately 20 acres near his home. Jones sold the property in 1964 to Carl and Evelyn Torrence. They undertook extensive rehabilitation of the structure and added a frame building on the site for an antique business. The house remained vacant for several years after the Torrences relocated. In 1978 following the death of her husband, Mrs. Lettie William, a Hart County native, purchased the property for her residence.
