The story

Home of heirs of donor of the Burleson townsite. By providing land for the M.K.T. Railroad line, Henry C.

Renfro (deceased 1885) won right to name town for his friend, Dr. Rufus Burleson, a pioneer preacher, president of Waco College (1861-86) and Baylor University (1851-61; 1886-97). This was the first house in the Clark addition, and was built in 1894 by Mrs.

Henry C. Renfro and her only daughter, Margaret Annette Baker Clark.
