Dallas County, Texas

The story

A native of North Carolina, Dr. R. A.

Roberts (1837 - 1906) settled in Cedar Hill in 1859. After serving as a Confederate Army surgeon he returned to this area, where he became a prominent physician and helped bring the Grand Central and Santa Fe Railroad line through Cedar Hill. Roberts built this home for his family in 1884.

The late Victorian style house features jig-sawn work on the porch and stick style brackets that support the second-story gable. RTHL 1984
