Grimland, Gunsten and Lofise, House
SW of Clifton on FM 219, Clifton, TXAccording to Tilden Pederson, who presently owns the property, the two-room, stone portion of this house was erected by Gunsten and Lofise Grimland about 1869 or 1870. A frame addition was added on one end at a later date, to form a row-house type of plan. The structure stands in close proximity to the larger Keddel and Liv Grimland farm, and is a good illustration of an early pioneer farmhouse in the area.
