Inside this small clapboard house is an old log cabin built by Austin Yeats in the 1850s. The small cabin measures 16 by 16 feet and typifies the Scotch-Irish style of cabin building. Although the Yeats had six children, they opened the tiny cabin to the public as an inn because of the sleeping loft. The cabin was sold to a Granbury lawyer by the name of William Ed Duke and he built the present house around the cabin in about 1900. The cabin still rests on its original foundation and much of the original clay chinking and lime whitewash can be seen on the inside walls.
