Inscription. Sam G. (1863-1941) and Estella (1865-1944) Henslee had this residence constructed for their family in 1907. As an early Rosebud businessman and city council member, Henslee was a leader in the development of the town. The modified Victorian home, which remained in the Henslee family until 1944, exhibits elements of the Shingle style of architecture.
