Built of hand-hewn stone in 1893 by David Lee Nutt, the Nutt House occupies the old site of a mercantile store constructed on logs. It was here that two of the Nutt brothers, Jake and Jesse, both of whom were blind from early childhood, began operating their general store in 1866. David Lee was the younger brother of Jake and Jesse and served as their ""eyes"" in the mercantile store from the time he was 12. In 1879 David Lee Nutt and his wife built a house that doubled as a hotel since the suppliers of Nutt's merchandise had no other place to spend the night when visiting Granbury on business.

This provided the rationale for building the hotel and restaurant. In addition, the new building served the mercantile store with larger facilities. For close to 30 years, people frequented the Nutt House for heaping helpings of chicken and dumplings, hot water cornbread, black-eyed pea salad and buttermilk pie. In 1968 the Texas State Historical Society awarded the Nutt House its medallion, naming it a historical and cultural landmark."
