Newton home at 8th and Jackson was featured in 1970 in a photo essay "Cameron Folk Fete." The photos showed girls in costume touring the house. The chandalier in the entry with the spiral staircase was a well known accent of the house. The house was built in the 1890s by Mr. W. Hefley an early Cameron real estate developer. The fire and events surrounding it are told in Clovis Road. The book can be obtained from Highgate Publishing, 6257 Highgate Lane, Dallas, Texas 75214.
