Its central hall plan, symmetrical facade and pedimented portico survive. It is also tied to the Peck family, prominent in the community's history and development.","narrative":"Perched on a hilltop facing the town of Goliad, this two-story house of limestone covered with stucco was built between 1842 and 1852 by Captain Barton Peck, a farmer, ranger and stockman. It measures 24 by 18 feet and has a central hall plan with four rooms per floor. Two stone Doric columns support a pedimented two-story portico, and quoins are etched into the stucco. Alterations include replacement of the original 6/6 windows with 2/2 windows, a tin roof from the 1940s, and removal in the late 1950s of a deteriorated dining room wing and an older two-room house. A rubble stone kitchen remains to the northwest. The house is considered one of the oldest in Goliad and an early Texas example of Greek Revival design. It stayed with the Peck family, including daughter Sue and her husband, Judge John Gus Patton, until 1961, when it became vacant with most furnishings intact. Restoration was planned.","period_of_significance":"1842-52","architect_builder":"Barton Peck","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Unoccupied since 1961, retaining most of its original furnishings; the owner planned to restore it and return it to residential use.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.624404-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/23/9721/40972123/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/79002947.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002947/f75e94b0fa-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002947/f75e94b0fa-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Captain_Baron_Peck_House_Goliad_Texas.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Captain_Baron_Peck_House_Goliad_Texas.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972123","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002074"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/goliad-county/peck-capt-barton-house-79002947/"}
