The Penick House was built in 1912 for B.G. Penick by a contractor named P. M. Williams. A contractor and builder active from 1907 to 1920, he built many buildings in Texhoma and the surrounding area, including Texas and Kansas. Primarily a commercial builder, the Penick house was the first residence built by Williams. It was the first brick residence built in Texhoma and one of the few historic brick houses extant.

The CCC Ranch Headquarters was built in the 1880s of native stone, cut and laid up in a running bond. The rough-faced stone bunkhouse stands
nearby.
The 3C ranch was owned by Vickers, Wells, and Gates out of Tombstone,
AZ. One of a handful of huge ranches in the Panhandle area, the CCC
Ranch contained approximately 90 square miles and boasted herd in excess of
30,000 cattle. Settlement of the Panhandle brought an end to the large,
corporate ranches. They were whittled away into smaller and smaller
parcels. The old ranch headquarters were often abandoned and left to
decay. The CCC Ranch Headquarters and bunkhouse are the best remaining
examples of their kind in the region, symbols of a bygone day of large,
free range ranching.
