About This Property

The three Cole Lott buildings stand at the northeast intersection of Commercial and Courthouse Sq Streets. This entry  is for what are known as the Cole Lott Buildings #2 and #3. They are numbered in the order of their construction.

Cole Lott #2 - is the building on the right when facing the three. The exterior load-bearing walls of the wider 1892 building are built of reclaimed Mission rubble rock finished with smooth plaster. An 1894 Sanborn Map and vintage photographs depict a two-story wood porch in the open space between the two original Cole buildings. This side porch was later enclosed to create a two-story entry hall to the second floor. Servants quarters in the rear dating from ca. 1891 were used as a restaurant at one time.

Cole Lott #3 - This is the middle building when facing the three. The two-story narrow brick infill building built in 1911 connected the two earlier buildings. The name LOTT in raised block letters is located on the the wall between the dentiled brick cornice and the lintel. Leffland's plans for this building are located in the Goliad Library.
