THE WALTER AND THELMA MAYS HISTORIC HOME DEDICATION
7579 OAK STREET FRISCO, TX 75033
SATURDAY APRIL 22, 2023 4PM
Another home in Frisco will receive a historic marker from the Heritage Association of Frisco on Saturday April 22 at 4pm when a dedication ceremony will be held at the site. The home was formerly owned by Walter Dodson “Dot” and Thelma Kerley Mays who bought the home in 1932 for $1,200. The home retains many architectural features such as wide windows, pine floors, and doors with glass knobs and brass fasteners. The Mays were respected members of the small Frisco community where they volunteered their time and talents. Mr. Mays kept dairy cows and delivered milk to Frisco residents while continuing a full time job in Dallas. He also served on the School Board and City Council. Mrs. Mays decorated and fired ceramics in an outbuilding at the home. The home remained in the Mays family for 74 years. It currently is owned by Clayton and Gabriela Jones who will host a reception and tour of the home after their historic marker is unveiled. The dedication ceremony is open to the public, and we encourage you to join us in this preservation celebration.

Frisco’s birth in 1902 signaled the beginning of the end for six once-thriving small towns–Bates, Camey, Erudia, Foncine, Lebanon and Rock Hill. Each had churches, homes, schools, businesses and a post office. Eventually, these towns and other smaller communities disappeared, but they live on in street names, historic markers and in the memories of old-timers. Their land has been absorbed into the footprint that is Frisco today.
