Now for some history this home was originally the first train depot in Cuero where they sold tickets for train travelers. History say that "John Wesley Hardin", the famous outlaw and shootist, most likely made his presence there. The structure was moved away from the train tracks around the turn of the century to its present location and became a residence. During the 40s the upstairs bedrooms were rented to tenants. The home features a plaque from the National Register of Historic Places.

This home in its present condition was appraised the week of April 27th for $220,000, the asking price. The owners are selling the home to serve as missionaries.
