| By 1888, the Leeper Bros and
Co. had built a lumber yard on Block 15 of the
Phillips Addition No. 2. In 1893, they
were rebuilding and adding lumber sheds to their
yard. Between 1893 and 1898, a dwelling
was built on the west side of Block 15, north of
the lumber yard, which had become William
Cameron and Company Lumber Yard. This
dwelling was later was addresses as 112 North
Frio Street. Between 1898 and 1904,
an alley had been placed down the middle of the
Block, running south to north, and it had again
become Leeper Lumber Company. By 1904, the
block had been divided into Lots, number, 1, 2,
3, 4 ... the dwelling remained on Lot 2 and Lot
3 was vacant. The address of 324 South
Frio Street had been given, but the address
system was later changed to 112 North Frio
Street. A small dwelling behind this
dwelling was addressed 324 1/2, which would have
been a servant's house. The lumber yard
buildings were labeled lumber sheds, office and
warehouse and, on the far north side, a building
labeled carpenter shop. By 1909, this
business had become Leeper-Wyatt Lumber Company,
and before 1916, Leeper-Curd Lumber Company,
with some modifications on the lumber
sheds. Before the 1923 map was drawn, most
these buildings had been removed for the
construction of the new Rockwell Brothers
buildings in 1924. |

| In 1924, Rockwell
Brothers and Company had built new
buildings and the east part of Lot 3, but
no longer occupied Lot 1 of Block
15. By this time the new address
numbers had come into being.
Rockwell Brothers was now addressed as 300
West Live Oak Street. A new, small
dwelling being built in Lot 1, addressed
as 113 South Pecos Street. Near the
previous location of the carpenter's shop,
a mattress factory had been built.
The house on South Frio Street was now
addressed as 112 South Frio Street.
A filling station had been constructed on
the southwest quarter of Lot 3, addressed
as 316 West Live Oak Street. An
address of 312 West Live Oak Street is
shown on this map, but appears to not be
attached to any building. By 1948,
the dwelling at 113 South Pecos Street had
been removed and the mattress factory
enlarged and was now addressed as 307 Cottonwood
Street. A small dwelling to
the west of it had been added and
addressed as 309 Cottonwood Street.
Neither 307 nor 309 Cottonwood Street, nor
312 West Live Oak Street have been shown
in this Virtual Coleman listing, as I have
found no mention of them in any directory
listing. |

The dwelling at 112 North Frio Street
were removed sometime after 1948.
