This house across from Zion Lutheran Church is yet another Kerrville house that started out in a different location. It was probably built around 1900, making it more than a century old.
Henry J. Niehaus received a permit in late September 1951 to move a house to 713 Sidney Baker, presumably this one.
There
were several ads in May and June 1951 advertising buildings to be
moved, including "large 6 room house to be moved or wrecked and removed
from premises. Lots of good material in this building. John S. Atkins
202 Blue Bonnet Hotel." This is the description that most closely
matches the pictured house. But even knowing who may have owned it I have not yet been able to find where it was originally. Do any of my readers know?
