111 Houston Street, Commercial Building/Engler’s Dry Goods, c.1895-1900. The actual construction date of this turn-of-the-century Victorian commercial building is not known, but it was likely erected between 1895 and 1900 by property owner Edward Disney Farmer. The earliest tenant identified in city directory records was the National Coffee Co. which located here about 1906. A series of salvage dealers and a grocer occupied the building between about 1908 and 1928, when it was purchased by dry goods merchant Adolph Engler. Operating under several names, including Engler’s Dry Goods, Engler’s Men’s Clothing, and Engler’s Western Rodeo Store, the firm was in business here until about 1973. The ground floor ofthe two-story brick building was altered, but the second story, with its three arched windows, attractive brick corbelling, and decorative finials was intact when the survey field work was undertaken in 1981. This building has since been demolished, but the entry is retained in the survey for purposes of documentation.
