This little Tudor style cottage in Westland Place was erected in the fall of 1929 by P. M. Wright, a local developer.
In November 1928, R. Holdsworth and his wife sold this lot to William Auld for $575. A few months later he sold the lot to P. M. Wright for $400, taking a loss. Wright then erected the house.  The first owners of the house were Harry and Estanislada? Gordon, who purchased it in February, 1930, for $3,250.  A native of Lithuania, he was a local businessman, who initially ran a grocery store in Legion, but by this time was in the automobile business, selling Durants.  Within the year he expanded to Hudsons and Essexes.
His wife, also foreign born, was from Mexico. Her name is difficult to read on the 1920 and 1930 census, but it appears to be Estanislada. 
The next owners were Ludwig and Estelle Rickels, who lived here from 1932 until October 1939 when they sold to Doris Johnson.
This property changed hands often, but remained a residential property until March 1987 when the City of Kerrville approved a conditional use permit for a dentist office. It has seen commercial use since then.
