Flint, this two-story house on Main Street in Salado sits on a rise above the center of the community. It has a rectangular plan, a stone cellar, a cypress frame covered in clapboard, stone end chimneys and a hipped roof. A single-story projecting portico with square columns and a simple balustrade marks the front, reflecting Transitional Greek Revival styling. A rear addition from about 1930 and a side addition from about 1971 use compatible materials. Judge O. T. Tyler bought the property in 1864. He was a prominent local political figure, Salado's first mayor and active in county affairs, which ties the house to the town's civic history. The house was recognized for both its architecture and its historical associations at the local level. It remains in good condition and is used as a restaurant and residence. The nominated area is under one acre and covers the house and additions, but excludes mid-20th-century outbuildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Col. John T.
