About This Property

Sea captain A. F. Higgs, entrepreneur behind  the Texas Continental Meat Co., had the original dwelling built of materials moved from  Lavaca Bay (Texana or Placedo vacinity ) . It i s possible that this occurred as early as 
the 1850s. Joe M. Pickering, prominent businessman and co-founder of the Anchor Lumber Co., purchased the property in 1908 and had architect Jules Leffland design a major renovation about 1911.
