Los Nogales is a historic 1800s home, among the oldest structures still standing in Seguin, Texas and is the last remaining adobe constructed home in the city. It serves the community as a museum. ==History== The old home was originally built in 1849 for Justus Gombert. Although restored, it retains its original hand-made, sun-dried adobe home construction〔(Gesick, adobe construction )〕 and cypress shingle roof. It was owned in 1859 by Joseph Zorn and in 1870, Benjamin McCulloch〔Thomas W. Cutrer, "MCCULLOCH, BENJAMIN," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed October 05, 2012. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 took possession of the house. This building is an example of a primitive home with its pioneer style kitchen and sod hewn cellar.〔 In 1951, the citizens of Seguin formed together to save and restore the old home and from this project was born the Seguin Conservation Society.〔 The first Seguin Post Office was located on the same property as the Los Nogales museum. Senator Juan Seguin helped establish a mail route to Seguin and Los Nogales has previously been referred to as the "Juan Seguin Post Office".〔Texas Almanac, 1964-1965, Book, 1963; digital images, (: accessed October 05, 2012 ), University of North Texas Libraries, The Portal to Texas History, http://texashistory.unt.edu; crediting Texas State Historical Association, Denton, Texas.〕 The tree-top mail office was quite unique as it was operated from an old tree-house.〔(Gesick, Post Office )〕 On March 24, 1972, the old building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Los Nogales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
