Briden and his wife Lucinda Servier were the first permanent white settlers in Johnson County after arriving in Texas from Germany. The one-room log cabin was later used as a barn when Briden built a larger home. The cabin was later moved to its current grounds furnished by First State Bank Rio Vista in 1974. A historical marker was dedicated for the cabin the same year. It is owned by the city of Rio Vista today. There is parking in the neighboring business and the Children's Museum is on the other side. Since you can't go inside the cabin, I wouldn't recommend going out of my way to visit. [Review 16006 overall - 194 in Texas - 1511 of 2021.]

Granbury's Railroad Depot is shining example of early commerce in Hood County. The building remains…read morein relatively the same condition since its original construction in 1914. The depot has been the hub of the county's development and has seen substantial changes in Granbury's cultural and economic growth. The one-story, rectangular brick depot features wide eaves and a hipped roof. Interestingly, the roof still maintains much of its original Ludowici clay tiles. The Granbury Railroad Depot possesses significance in area history, architecture and culture. Built in 1914, it is a remaining symbol of rail transportation to and from Granbury, which triggered a great economic boom here in the 1880s. The Depot is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local, regional, state and national history. The expansion of the railroad across the U.S. brought prosperity and new innovations to lands that had been without. Granbury was no exception. The arrival of the railroad had an "immediate impact" on the local economy and property values rose exponentially. The Depot had separate waiting room sections for white and black passengers, which demonstrates the plight of African Americans in the south after the Civil War. Granbury's founding town fathers together donated $25,000 to bring the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad to Granbury in 1887. These men included Ashley Crockett and E.A. Hannaford. Granbury citizens who used the train included farmers, ranchers and businessmen who used the depot to ship their goods. The Depot is similar to historic Texas railroad stations which also have the wide overhanging eaves and the separate waiting rooms for different ethnic groups. The Depot was built by employees of the Frisco Railroad using brick, stone and trademark Ludowici clay roof tiles which were from the original clay tile factory in New Lexington, Ohio, which burned in the 1950s. The Depot is no doubt, one of the most established and familiar visual features of Granbury. It stands as a monument of progress in this community from rustic pioneer settlements to rural Texas county seat. The Granbury Railroad Depot was designated a local landmark November 8, 2008. This information was obtained from their website.

There is also a city marker titled "West Buffalo Creek" that is very difficult to read. [Review 16021 overall - 209 in Texas - 1526 of 2021.]
