Alabama native Robert Augustus Horlock (1849-1926) came to Navasota in 1871. Here he became a prominent businessman and civic leader. He and his wife, Agnes (White), had this home built in the early 1890's. The house which remained in the Horlock family for nearly 100 years, exhibits influences of the Eastlake and Stick styles of architecture. prominent features include the corner porch, the arched windows with small gabled hoods, and the decorative woodwork. The home’s historical marker is 8590 and was erected in 1984 by the Texas Historical Commission. (hmdb.org) The home was gifted to the Grimes County Heritage Association in 1981 by Roy Horlock. The Grimes County Heritage Association gifted the home to the City of Navasota in 1999. Since then, the home has served as accommodations to the Artists in Resisdence and the Best Museum. As of lately, the ownership is now back in the hands of the Horlock family.
