308 South Frio Street
Coleman, Texas

Legal Description:

There was no dwelling located on this site prior to a time between 1923 and 1930.

In 1923 the dwelling was located in the center of this quarter of this block. Sometime between 1923 and 1930, it appears that the porches of the dwelling at 403 West College Avenue were removed, and the house moved to the west side of the lot. Additions were made to the east and south sides of the dwelling and a small porch added to the north side. After the dwelling was moved, a two story tile (or brick) auto garage was located at the rear of 403 West College Avenue.

Also, by 1930 a small additional house was built on the south side of this quarter of the block. On the 1930 and 1948 maps, this dwelling is shown with an address of 308 South Frio Street. I think this dwelling was originally a servant's house for 403 West College Avenue, but was probably later used as a small rental property.
