Developer Jefferson D. Hefley completed this house in 1902 as part of his
Hefley Heights subdivision. R. F. and Minta (Fraim) Pool purchased it the
same year. R. F. came to Cameron in 1881 and opened a confectionary stand,
which grew to become a department store business. He later founded the Pool
Manufacturing Company, a large operation with textile factories across
Texas. Subsequent owners of the house included Milam County Tax Collector A.
W. Tabor, as well as several other merchants and civic leaders. The house
has functioned as a private residence, apartments and a bed and breakfast
but still retains its original Queen Anne styling. Features include spindle
frieze and balustrade, corner tower with bracketed eaves and fishscale
shingling.
