Texas Historic Landmark

Marker Text: ​Originally operated by John Reichle family. This store opened about 1890. Damaged by a storm about 1900, the original 2-story building was changed to its current 1-story configuration with symmetrical front gables. A full-width porch, and exterior walls that are a combination of horizontal siding and vertical board-and-batten siding, the business was acquired by the Clemons S Faist family in 1964, and renamed Welcome Store. (1992)
