Murray in Victoria, Texas, built around 1915 as part of Adolf Goldman's cotton gin and grist mill complex in the Owen Addition.","why_significant":"It is considered significant for architecture and commerce. It was added to Goldman's large gin complex around 1915 and is the only relatively unaltered structure left from that complex. Its brickwork is described as nicely detailed.","narrative":"A one-story brick warehouse at 901 E. Murray in Victoria, Texas, this building dates to about 1915 and sits in a warehouse district beside the railroad tracks, just east of the original town site. It was added to the cotton gin and grist mill business that Adolf Goldman began in the early 1890s in the south part of the Owen Addition. The square-plan structure has a flat roof with a stepped parapet, brick piers, segmental brick arches over doors and windows, paired window openings, and decorative courses of stepped brick. Some arched window openings have since been filled in with brick, and two single entrances face north. Other buildings of the gin complex lie to the south, but this warehouse is the only relatively unaltered structure remaining. It was recognized for its architecture and for its role in the commerce of the town. Its original and present uses are both commercial.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular warehouse","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is listed as commercial; the brick-filled window openings are noted, but the gin buildings to the south are described as altered.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.117727-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/47/9705/40970547/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002606.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002606/b4f04bbcb9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002606/b4f04bbcb9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Goldman%27s_Cotton_Gin_Warehouse,_Victoria,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Goldman%27s_Cotton_Gin_Warehouse,_Victoria,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970547","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002451"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/goldmans-cotton-gin-warehouse-86002606/"}
