In a special edition of the Nacogdoches Chronicle, dated September 30, 1897, editor R. W. Haltom wrote the verdict on Rulfs' impact only seventeen years after his arrival in the city: There is, perhaps, no man in Nacogdoches to whom the city is more indebted for the beauty and splendor of her scores of elegant residents, and the stateliness of her business houses. . . . From a little village of sleepy looking, old-fashioned cottages and wooden stores, the town has developed into a city of magnificent dwellings and imposing brick stores. And to the architecture and mechanical skill of D. Rulfs is justly due the credit for this pleasing transformation . . . his skill is displayed in more than three-fourths of the magnificent buildings that have gone up since he came here, and as a builder his workmanship is manifest in scores of the most substantial and imposing structures of the city.
