106 N Courthouse Sq 

The 1891 building constructed of Mission rock finished with plaster was built by John Cole, twice mayor of Goliad. A small central triangular pediment rises from the middle of the cornice and contains the name "Cole Block" and the date 1891. Originally no covered walk was at the sidewalk, but by 1906 a wooden porch had been added. The marble step at the the entry door is worn from use, suggesting that perhaps it and the marble head moldings over the windows might be original. After the cyclone, architect Jules Leffland remodeled the smaller brick building for Will Lott, and for many years the Lott family owned all the buildings and lived upstairs. The first floor has been used for many businesses, from barber shops to general stores.
