Water Street in Rio Grande City, Starr County, Texas, for Dr. John G. Campbell, with rear additions and several outbuildings and structures around a courtyard.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house reflects Anglo-American influence in the Lower Rio Grande Valley after the Mexican-American War, while blending Anglo-American, Northern European and Spanish-derived building traditions. It also notes its link to the steamboat-era commercial center of Water Street and its later association with the Yzaguirre-Longoria family. It is considered significant at the local level.","narrative":"Built around 1852 on Water Street in Rio Grande City, this two-story brick house was the home of Dr. John G. Campbell and his family, who left the area around 1860. Its side-gabled I-house form, low parapets at the gable ends, and iron balcony with exterior stair combine Anglo-American, Northern European and Spanish-derived ideas. The walls are buff brick made from local clay, with heavy timber beams said by family tradition to have come from a wrecked steamboat. Rear additions date to about 1857 and 1935, and a courtyard is enclosed by outbuildings, a brick wall and a cistern. The house stood beside the steamboat landing that anchored the town's commerce. In the early twentieth century it passed to the family of Encarnacion Yzaguirre-Longoria, who had fled the Mexican Revolution, and it was later divided into apartments. It is now vacant and deteriorating, but it remains a record of the cultural mixing of mid-nineteenth-century border life.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Builders not documented; census suggests Irish carpenter Andrew Noad and New York brickmason Lyman D.
