Doan's Adobe House, in Wilbarger County, Texas near Odell, Texas, was built around 1880. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] Built by Corwin F. Doan -- originally 17 by 27.5 feet (5.2 m × 8.4 m) in plan -- it is one of North Texas's few adobe buildings. It is the only surviving building of the frontier town of Doan's Crossing, on the Western Cattle Trail from central Texas to Dodge City, Kansas, which had a population of several hundred in 1885. It is located at a crossing of the Red River[2] on County Road 111N, and/or Ranch Road 924, East of Odell, off U.S. 283.

The building is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. [3]
