About This Property

Local Landmark

The Prokop brothers worked in Galveston as dock hands until a family member persuaded them to relocate to Bastrop. Returning to boot and shoe repair, the trade they had learned in Germany, the Prokops built the current building at 913 Main Street in 1887 and set up their own store. They offered complete boot and show repair and made boots and shoes. In those days, a pair of boots sold for as much as five dollars. The family still owns the building and treasures a book with foot measurements of men who lived in old Bastrop. The building later became a general mercantile, a dance studio,  a book store, clothing boutique and most recently a ceramics store. 
 
It is one of two cast iron-fronted buildings on Main Street.
