This well situated home was the former gatehouse to the 5-acre Tom Mix estate. For those only caught up with talkie history, Tom Mix was the most famous of the movie cowboys during the silent era. He was John Wayne before John Wayne. Speaking of John Wayne, the two reportedly hated each other. IMDB quotes Tom Mix as saying when asked about Wayne: "The only Christian words that I could use are 'no-talent upstart'". Tom Mix died in 1940 in a car accident.
