Thrash-Landers-Hiner House

History·Hood County·Texas

North Carolina native Patrick H. Thrash (1832-1921) moved his family to this area in 1872. Thrash, Granbury's first mayor, built a one story frame home here about 1880. Downtown saloon owner George W. Landers purchased the property in 1899, then sold it to district attorney John J. Hiner in 1903. Hiner's brother, Hood county sheriff Thomas H. Hiner, acquired the property in 1915. This Queen Anne style frame house was enlarged to its current appearance between 1905 and 1910.
