800 Earl Garrett Street

This house was constructed sometime between late 1915 and early 1918; most likely the earlier date.
On June 27th, 1914, W. C. Stockbein sold the land this house sits on to Ira Kuykendall who on April 20, 1915, sold it to R. M. and Ida Insall.  They then divided the block of land, now known as the Insall Block, into lots.  Four months later, on August 30, 1915, R. M. and Ida Insall sold the lot this house sits on to C. W. and Mittie Moore for $375.  On May 14, 1918, the Moores sold the property, now with a house on it, to W. A. Simmons for $2750.
W. A. Simmons married Miss Mary Katherine Williams in Victoria in 1892.  According to his obituary, Simmons arrived in Kerrville about 1913.  He died in 1927 at the age of 67, leaving behind his widow.  She continued to reside here another three decades, until her death in August 1957.  They are buried in Victoria.

Mary and Richard Tomlinson next owned the house.  After he died she continued to live her until her death in 1988.   Today the house is used as a commercial property.
