Our latest historical shelter is steeped in Texas history, and its 3,925 square foot main home and 680 square foot cottage are nestled on two large corner lots to offer plenty of amenities at home, plus it’s close to all the shopping San Marcos has to offer.

Known as the Old Storey Home, it was built by James Gray Storey in 1890 in Hays County. Storey was the son-in-law of the first judge of Hays County — Henry Cheatham — and was himself Hays County district clerk, then a captain in the Civil War, then Hays County Judge, and later a member of the Texas legislator.
