c. 1851. 200 block of W. Water St.
The warehouse stored goods transported by the Stillman, Kenedy, and King river trade monopoly, enabling their later investments in ranching and railroads. The long, two-story, hipped-roof, brick commercial structure with nearly a full-width wooden balcony also served as the county courthouse prior to 1886. Although linked to Anglo-American building traditions, the warehouse, reflecting the hybrid culture of the border, includes a side gate leading to a high-walled courtyard extending the full length of the lot in the Mexican custom.
