Hill House
In 1902 David Daniel and Nellie Hill moved to Nellie's allotment west of Chickasha, also referred to as the country end of Iowa Avenue. The house was constructed of three stories which included great amenities for the time including hardwood floors, hot water radiators in every room, billiard apartments in the attic and electric on every floor and in the barn.
This home boasted the most elaborate and costly outlay for a rural home in Grady County. Here, the Hill family raised seven of their eight children.

Their sons all played football for Chickasha High School while two of the boys, Harry and Houston, continued on to play for the University of Oklahoma. Harry, later known as "Cowboy Hill", played professional football with several teams including the New York Giants.
The house still stands today and is known across town as the Hill House. It was renovated and given new life in 2015 while still keeping true to it's historical roots.
