MERCANTILE LIVERY ROOMING HOUSE

ONE OF THE MORE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES OF THE SOUTHWEST WAS THAT OF A MERCHANT AND THEIR MERCANTILE STORES.
THIS ONE, BECKER - MCTAVIS + CO., CARRIED MOST OF THE GOODS REQUIRED OF THE TIME, LEATHER AND LINEN GOODS, CROCKERY, SILVERWARE, BUILDING MATERIALS, FARM SUPPLIES INCLUDING THE HATED BARB (BOB) WIRE.



THE LIVERY STABLE HERE "HORN AND NOBLOCK" NOT ONLY TOOK CARE OF YOUR HORSE BUT WOULD ALSO PUT THE COWBOY UP FOR A TIME TOO.


The beautiful and different McTavis House is a structure still in use as a family home.
