This little building is all that survives of a company that produced cast-concrete blocks that imitated cut stone for builders and architects in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Texas. The warehouse itself advertises the company products, with the cast blocks forming most of the exterior walls. The company's blocks can be seen on a number of other Fredericksburg buildings, most notably the massive Prairie Style residence of Henry Basse (
NB55).
