708 S. SYCAMORE - BUILT 1903 (LOOK LEFT)

This two-story frame home, with octagonal corner tower and beveled-faced dormer, was built by New York born grocer Barney Pearlstone and his wife, Lena, a native of Mississippi. It was later the home of William Mark Hamilton, a native of Tyler, Texas and founder of the Palestine Herald Press. The house was remodeled and enlarged in 1920 to plans by architect Theodore S. Maffitt.
