The lot on which the house is built was first purchased by C.C. Huddleston soon after the town of DuPree (Buda) was founded. Ownership of the property passed from Huddleston to George C. Patterson, who later sold it to Stella Cox. It was from Cox that the Porters bought the property that was to be their home for the rest of their lives.
The Porters built the house. They had no children and as their health declined, it was the Gordons who took care of them. Ena Gordon was the daughter of Sallie Ferguson Porter, the builder of the home on Main Street. Willie Porter died in 1944 and the Gordons continued to care for Nora until her death in 1958.
The Burns, Ferguson, and Porter families who are associated with the house were all very early settlers of the Buda area. They all lived and farmed on the south and east side of Buda on land that is often called 'the prairie' and played an active role in the building of the Buda community. The history of these families associated with this home is in the Buda and Science Hall communities.
Carol Evans, DDS, purchased the house in 2000 for the office of Main St. Dental. She is committed to maintaining its historic integrity. Even though the house has undergone restoration and redecoration, its original design remains. It offers a unique comfort for Dr. Evans' patients.
