503 CROCKETT ROAD BUILT 1911 (LOOK LEFT)

Built for George and Mamie Freeland and sold two years later to William and Helen Jackson Lyne. A Pennsylvania native, Mr. Lyne was a crack I&GN engineer who always piloted the train when the Goulds were in this territory, and who racked up 2,466,000 miles on his 50th year with the railroad. In this home, Mrs. Lyne, who grew up in Kansas City and California, operated the Blue Moon Inn, which was Palestine’s premier social and civic hall for 35 years.
