(Note: The outbuildings on the west side of this block appear
to belong with 300 West Pecan Street.)
By 1904, these dwellings had been torn down, probably in preparation for building the home of Augustus D. Dunn (1861 - 1918, buried at Coleman Cemetery) and his wife Ellen (Ratliff) Dunn (1868 - 1953, buried at Coleman Cemetery).  A vacant lot is shown on a 1904 map.  Note early alternate street numbers.

The old Dunn home was torn down in the early 1950's to make way for an implement lot.  This lot was later divided, creating 300 West Pecan Street and 306 West Pecan Street.  The office of the Coleman Production Credit Association was built at 300 West Pecan Street.  Campbell's Pharmacy was built at 306 West Pecan Street.
