Marker Text: ​This caliche block home was built by Robert Caile (d. 1879) soon after he purchased the property in 1857. Caile, who came to Texas from England, later enlarged the residence with an addition during the post-civil war period. A part of the 1812 Spanish land grant to Dolores Alderete, the site remained in The Caile family until 1894, when it was purchased as rental property by Jacob Hotz, a farmer. After his death in 1928, relatives owned the house until the 1940s. (1966)
