History
The Dr. L.W. and Martha E.S. Chilton House in Goliad is a two-and-a-half-story Queen Anne home designed by architect Jules Leffland and built in 1902 by contractor Bailey Mills, after the family's earlier home was destroyed in the deadly May 1902 Goliad tornado. Dr. Chilton, a physician who began practicing in Goliad in 1891, used the house as both a residence and medical office. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
