Daniel Waggoner (born 1828), was an early Texas cattle rancher who created an empire through hard work and shrewd investments. When he died in 1902, he left one of the largest family-owned ranches in Texas. During that time, he built “El Castile”, a $50,000 mansion on a hill at one end of Decatur’s Main St. Built in 1883, it has been called one of the finest examples of Victorian masonry architecture in Texas. It has "a large basement, sixteen rooms and six and one-half bathrooms." I’ve tried to capture a few of the exterior architectural details. The mansion was used as a model for the home in the movie "Giant." Sources: tshaonline.org; wisehistory.com
