This home is a state and national registered historic landmark in the historical district of Temple. The house is known as the Ferguson Home, James was governor before his wife, Miriam. He built this house for her when they were living in Belton. Because she was a gardener, he was able to lure her to Temple with a mason jar of soil from the land. He founded the Ferguson bank and ran for office. She followed him as the first woman elected to the office of governor in this country. Two historical pictures come with the house, you will be able to see them on the walls. There is also other photos taken over the years and memorabilia that the new resident will have upon move in. The blue paint on the porch ceilings have proven to keep wasps away, as the house has been well maintained top to bottom. Professional photos to come soon as well as yard sign.
