Marker Text: The oldest residence in La Feria. Built in 1909 by local carpenter Felipe Perez for Rosalio Ponce Longoria (1872-1965), a contractor who cleared land for developers to build railroads and other Rio Grande Valley improvements. His board and batten house originally had two main rooms, two small bedrooms, the long front porch, and a kitchen with brick chimney for a wood-burning stove. The bathroom, a small porch, and the little family room were added about 1950. (1974)
