Marker Text: ​Born about 1839 in Tennessee, Jeremiah Hamilton was one of nine black representatives in the 12th Texas legislature, 1869-71.  He bought this lot on Waller Creek in 1871 and began building this oddly shaped stone structure to house his grocery store. Italian-born Michael Paggi owned the property from 1873 to 1881. He was involved in several unusual business ventures, including the manufacture of ice. (1978)
