306 E BROAD ST 

This house, built 1879, was first owned by the Rev. Andrew Shannon Hayter (1818-1900), pastor of the Walnut Creek Church (later called the Cumberland Presbyterian Church) from 1879 until at least 1881 and was considered to be the church's first parsonage. A. S. Hayter was prominent in the early history of Arlington, where he founded a Presbyterian church, served as the first master of the Masonic Lodge, and worked as a surveyor to help plan the route of the Texas and Pacific Railroad through the area in 1876. Andrew "Cap" Britton bought the house in the 1880's for the Witherspoon family, who lived there for many years. Around 1895 the house was altered and probably enlarged. The ornament added to the porch at that time has since been removed. The house forms part of a potential historic district along E. Broad and E. Elm Streets.
