WEST PECAN STREET
south side - 1930 map







"In 1929, J. Tom Padgitt, and his wife Willie Day, were residing at 111 South Frio Street.  He was a ranchman, with an office in the Coleman National Bank Building.  Also living at this address was James T. Padgitt, Jr., a student."  (Coleman City Directory, 1929 - Hudspeth.)

(Note:  This dwelling appears to be the only possible one that could have the 111 South Frio address, in 1948 was known as 316 West Pecan Street.)




Aerial View of north side of 300 block of West Pecan Street, 1950.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Tom Padgitt lived at 316 West Pecan Street. The house was purchased from Ben A. Pessels in 1924, but was moved back from the street and additions made to the house, and two apartments were added to the northeast corner of the lot. The house was then addressed as 111 South Frio Street and then 117 South Frio Street. The area where the house was originally located was then developed into a yard and garden area, with many trees in the yard. The house and apartments burned in 1974, but the trees recovered. Today the sidewalks where the yard was located are still there, but the trees were removed over the years.  An aerial view taken in 1950, shows the Padgitt house to the center left with Frio Street running north to south with the apartments in the center of the picture; the Pessels house to the center right with South Pecos Street running north to south on the east side and West Live Oak Street in front of the two houses, running east to west; the Burton-Lingo Lumber Yard at the top left with Rockwell Brothers Lumber Yard across Live Oak Street; Taylor Motor Company showroom at the top right; at bottom left is the house where the Stevens Funeral Home is now located; Mrs. J. A. Horne home at the bottom right; and the Bowen home is located above right of the Horne home.
