Building History and Restoration
_
(We need an old photo of this building)
This building was erected 1910-1911 and has had a multitude of uses. Its earliest operation was as a tailor shop, which had a shoe store next door. In the following years it became a gambling saloon, dry cleaner, and then closed up for a span of time. Best known was when it reopened and became Gomez Tortilla Factory. A family dispute spilt the factory and Pepe Gomez squared off against his wife , who moved to Gibson Street to see who would stay in business. With the passing of time and many a tortilla dead on the battlefield, Pepe reins supreme. But all ends well with the family reconciling and combining the factory where it operates today on Gibson Street making the best flour and corn tortillas in the area. The building was purchased in October 2001 and restored to become Casa de Cowboy.
