Olson-Nelson Farm
W of Clifton, Clifton, TXThis house was constructed by Ole and Antonette Olson, who apparently arrived in Bosque County in the 1850s. They probably built the house in the 1860s.

It is majestically sited on a small hill near Round Mountain, along with several other stone and wood-frame structures. Its precise date of construction is unknown.
