Description
Colorized photo from 1931
Original Title: Rupley building
Location: 208 S Main St, Victoria, Texas
This run down old building is the Rupley building, or sometimes known as the Rupley hotel. Built in the 1850's, it served as head quarters in the Civil war, later on as a hotel for whomever.
Over the years it housed commercial enterprises such as this clothing store and hamburger stand. People probably had no idea what this building was or how old it was. It was later torn down to make room for a new parking lot.
