Built in 1886, this historic Texas landmark stands on Murphy Street, in the heart of the oldest neighborhood in Alpine. Though shuttered over four decades, a few years ago, builder and developer Mattie Matthaei fell in love with the dilapidated, vacant building and vowed to restore it to its former glory and transform in into a new hub of community activity.
