Falconer Home
433 Agnes Ave, Marlin, TexasYear 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.
