Review & FAQ:
The Barton House is a historic home built in 1866 on the Main Street in Salado, Texas, for the pioneering physician Dr. Welborn Barton and his wife Louisa Adeline Cox. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been marked with a Texas Centennial Marker. The original part of The Barton House, built into a hillside, was made of Texas quarry-faced limestone ashlar. The exceptional stone-masonry skills and asymmetrical placement of the front door were unusual for its period. The three story house has solid 24-inch thick walls and the floors made of long-leaf pine. The Barton House changed owners but remained a private home until 1997 when it opened as a restaurant. The current owners are operating an upscale Barton House restaurant using many of the period features of the house.
