About This Property

The oldest brick building on the south side of the square, designed by Jules Leffland, was built in 1890 for the Seeligson & Co. Grocery and Dry Goods store. Extensively remodeled, the original Goliad brick facade was plastered over to present a streamlined modern appearance. It was used as a movie theater, restaurant and gift shop. As a movie theater bottle caps were sometimes traded for entrance fees to the movie theater.
