Marker Text: ​German native Theodor Georg Ludwig Goldbeck constructed the original part of this home in 1854, the same year the town of Comfort was founded. In 1856 he sold the house and his mercantile business to Friedrich August Faltin, a merchant who had recently immigrated from Prussia. Additions to the residence, completed during his ownership, reflect German influences  of pioneer building techniques.  For over 125 years it has remained in the Faltin family. (1962)

Location: ​Main and Seventh Streets, Comfort
