On November 21, 1910, B.F. Cameron and his wife sold to W.T. Norman Sr. parts of
inner lots nos. 1,2,3, and 4 in inner block no. 34 in the town of Liberty, Liberty
County, Texas and the house located thereon. The house, an example of the Greek
Revival form, is believed to have been constructed around 1883. The Norman family
occupied the home until the death of Kitty Norman in 1959. Edna Norman continued to
maintain it until she donated it to the Atascosito Historical Society in 1988. The
structure was moved to the grounds of the Sam Houston Regional Library and Research
Center on May 20, 1992, and donated to the Texas State Library and Archives
Commission in 1994. Restoration on the home was completed in June 1994.
