"U Lazy S" Carriage, Saddle & Harness House, National Ranching Heritage Center (moved from West Farm Road 669, South of Post, Garza County, TX), Lubbock, Lubbock County, TX

Significance: John B. Slaughter registered the "U Lazy S" brand in Palo Pinto County during the Civil War, and ranched in Crosby County, Glasscock County, Utah and New Mexico between 1880 and 1901, when he purchased the present ranch in Garza County. The carriage house was built a short time later and the headquarters, ten miles south of the post. The two story box and strip building contains an area for surries and buggies in the center portion, tack rooms for saddles and harnesses on one end and a feed storage room at the other end. The second story was used for storage. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Lott donated the building to the Ranch Headquarters in memory of Mr. Lott's grandfather, John B. Slaughter.
