Notes |
San Benito Land and Water Company that was responsible for the development of the town of San Benito. Landrum's 1,100-acre Rancho Ciprés (Cypress Ranch) was established by his father-in-law, Stephen Powers, an attorney for General Zachary Taylor during the Mexican-American War and former mayor of Brownsville. Rancho Ciprés was a cotton plantation that later was sharecropped. Fronting Old Military Highway, the house was a frequent stopping point for the U.S. military and for missionaries who travelled the valley on horseback at a time when the valley was mostly large ranches and plantations. The house is architecturally significant as an excellent example of rural residential architecture in a vernacular interpretation of the neo-classical revival and Victorian styles. It is an imposing, two-story house of blonde brick made onsite. Cypress lumber used in the stairway, ceilings, floors, doors, and door and window trim was brought from New Orleans. The house has an L-plan with a two-story main block with central hall under a side gable roof, and a one-story projecting rear wing for the kitchen and dining room. Notable architectural features are the 17'-thick load-bearing masonry walls; wall dormers on the front and rear facades; quoins on the building corners; Victorian-style scrollwork detailing on roof gable ends, dormer gables, and rear porch supports; voussoir brick window and door lintels with drop ends; tiles with year of construction (1902) and James L. Landrum's initials (JLL); front door with transom and sidelights; and a rear door with fanlight transom and sidelights accessing a small vestibule transitioning the rear wing and living room. Rear porches run the south main facade and east rear wing facade to form a rear courtyard. The house remained in the Landrum family until 1972.
