THE GRANT HOUSE (at times called the Pioneer House or Marble House) in Shakespeare, near present day Lordsburg, was built and added to between 1858 and 1872. Meals were served here to stagecoach passengers. During the 1870’s the late Caesar Brock, pioneer Grant County rancher, hunted the meat served — deer and antelope. The sign (which was not there in the old days) is a quote of Mr. Brock’s when asked about the Grant House menu of the ’70’s. This front dining room was also used as a hanging room because of the convenient timbering. A list of those hung here is not available.
