Davenport Homestead Built 1873..........

William Davenport built this old house in 1873 and folks are still living in it. It is located on Evans Road, East of Nacogdoches Road in far North Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas. There is lots of history in the area, family cemetery and the remains of an old stage depot a short distance to the West of the old house. Tejaswrangler

It's great how you got a great capture of a old house and explained what you knew about the history.

cjkorb, many of my pictures are of historical sites, or other old places in South Texas, and I try to provide some information when possible. Thanks for viewing the picture of the Davenport homestead. Tejaswrangler :)

I grew up in this house I remember being a little girl and walking to the Davenport cemetery and just sitting there coloring in books. I miss those days I would give anything to be back home sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee with my mom and aunt. Its true THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME
