Notes
  • Significance: The Mabel Doss Day Lea house and complex of outbuildings was the headquarters for one of the most ambitious ranching endeavors in this part of West Texas. The house was begun for Mabel Day Lea, known in her time as the "Cattle Queen of Texas," at a moment in her career when she had begun a comprehensive subdivision of her large landholding, which subdivision included the platting of the new town of Leaday nearby. The sizeable one-and-one-half-story woodframe house was subsequently finished and occupied by the Miller family following Mrs. Lea's untimely death and continued in their ownership through several generations until the present. The structure is architecturally significant as a typical catalog-type house of the turn-of-the-century period; climatic adaptation and site orientation are important. The very large complex of outbuildings and other elements on the site are of equal importance; they were exceptionally well-built and maintained and continued in use in their original functions until quite recent times.
