Los Nogales
This structure was built in 1849
for German immigrant Justus Gombert. The one-room adobe structure, later
Stuccoded and enlarged, was owned from 1849 to 1859 by Joseph Zorn. After
the Civil War, the property was used as a campground for members of the Freedmen's
Bureau. Ben McCulloch owned the property briefly in 1870. Demolition
of the house was prevented as the first project of the Seguin Conservation
Society in 1952. Los Nogales (Spanish for walnuts), as it is now known,
was designated a recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1962.
