It originally stored beer and ice. The building has corrugated-metal sheathing, a gable roof with composition shingles, and wood-sash windows with one-over-one and two-over-two lights. Its most notable feature is an ornate parapet on the north elevation, which faces the railroad tracks. The building was listed because of its architecture. Warehouses typically show little noteworthy detailing, yet this one is described as among Cuero's most uniquely detailed commercial buildings. It has remained virtually unaltered since its completion, and a 1986 survey found it in good condition and still used as a commercial warehouse. The nominated property covers less than one acre. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Recorded in good condition in 1986, virtually unaltered, with a present use of commercial warehouse.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.345924-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/68/9687/40968768/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001985.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001985/d9bb244034-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001985/d9bb244034-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Old_Beer_And_Ice_Warehouse_Cuero_Texas.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Old_Beer_And_Ice_Warehouse_Cuero_Texas.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968768","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001886"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dewitt-county/old-beer-and-ice-warehouse-88001985/"}
