Falconer Home

433 Agnes Ave

Marlin, Falls County, Texas

Year Erected: 1983

     Constructed in 1880, this originally housed a private boys' school known as Stafford Military Academy. When financial difficulties forced the school to close in 1886, it was purchased as a residence by Willis Lang Falconer, who had moved to Marlin from Mississippi in 1885. Falconer's family became well-known for its community service and maintained the for more than 80 years. An interesting feature of the house is its formal Doric temple facade.
