A map of 1888 shows a partial view of the dwelling located at which
faced east and was addressed as 17 South Neches Street. This dwelling
appears to have been a small house, with the front porch across the east
side. By 1916, the dwelling had been removed or remodeled into a
larger home. By 1898, it appears the dwelling was enlarged again
and by 1904 it was again enlarged with larger porches added on the east
and west sides. Other sheds and a small dwelling were also located
on the property, being noted as a "Servant's House" by 1916.
This location became adddressed as 103 South Neches Street by 1916,
and 216 South Neches Street by 1930. This location had a second address
of 201 West College Avenue as early as 1888, which had been changed to
502 West College Avenue by 1923, and 500 West College Avenue by 1930.
It does not appear that the West College Avenue address was used until
the dwelling was removed and a new house built in 1982, which was addressed
as 500 West College Avenue.

It is not known when the large old struction was torn down, but it appears
that it was addressed as 216 South Neches Street until the time of its
removal. When a new house was built at this location it was addressed
at 500 West College Avenue.
