502 S Main Street Highway, Calvert, TX 77837

*Square footage is estimated due to the appraisal district lacking specification* One of a few original structures listed by the State Historical Association on Main Street of Calvert. L T Fuller founded his company around 1870, one of Calvert's first industries & patented a number of mechanical items for the cotton trade and specialized machinery.

The iron facade came from the famous Mesker & Brothers Company, St. Louis. MO. Iron ore from local deposits and from Cherokee County (100 mi. NE) was hauled here by horse-drawn wagons to be made into farm tools and other iron products. Original brick walls, bead board ceilings & 1870's water cistern.

Original doors front the facade with decorated Victorian cast hardware shows the high quality in the original build. Tall ceiling heights keep the interior cool and afford maximum wall space to be used. The tall Victorian doors would open wide to provide wonderful air circulation from front to back of the building prior to HVAC systems.

The original wood floors are long leaf Southern Pine from the 1870's with the exception of some restoration when needed over the last 100 years. Original display windows remain & cast iron "hooks" remain as evidence of the oil ceiling lamp fixtures. The electrical wiring has been completely redone for modern day use and safety. The structure is piped for natural gas heat. The standing stove remains with the building. Own a piece of Texas history!
