Historic name: Original Southside Market and Barbecue (built 1882)

About This Property

In 1882, Southside Market was established as home of the famous Elgin “hot” sausage. William Moon, the original owner, started the market on Farm Road 1704. He sold his product door to door out of a wagon. By 1886, Southside Market was located at 117 Central Avenue and continued to move around until it found its home here between 1944 and 1991. The locals as well as the state of Texas have kept the demand high for Elgin’s “hot guts” naming Elgin the Sausage Capital of Texas in 1995. 

Completely rehabilitated in 2016 as a historic tax credit project, now home to Hat Creek Provisions.
