Completed in 1860 by master builder Abner Cook, this structure first housed the general merchandise store of George W. Sampson (1825-1883) and Abram Henricks. After Henrick's death in 1865, Sampson maintained an office here, and leased the remainder of the building for other commercial and professional enterprises. The Italianate structure, which features arched windows and fine stonework, has remained in the Sampson family for more than 100 years. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1982
