Katherine Anne Porter House"Shortly after Kyle, Texas was founded in 1880, Ms. Porter’s paternal grandmother built a three-room house on Center Street. Following his wife’s death in 1892, Porter’s father and his four children moved into the house where Katherine Anne Porter [one of America's most distinguished writers] was born in 1890, lived until 1902."
"In 2002 the house was designated a National Literary Landmark. In 2006, due to the efforts of Kate Johnson, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places."
