Kerr County Judge Bob Denson and Kerr County Commissioners:
On behalf of the Kerr County Historical Commission, we respectfully
request your consideration of the acquisition of the building that housed the
first church in Kerrville, the old Union Church as it was then imown. The
Current owner, Jim Nugent, has agreed for the Historical Commission to be the
recipient of the building that is presently located on his lot on Francisco
I.elnos Street in Kerrville; however, it will become necessary to move the
building to a permanent location.
You have in hand a well-researched history of the church and we have
brought current pictures of the building in its present state. The Historical
Commission is in the process of applying for a Historical Site designation for
the church through the Texas Historical Commission in Austin hoping to create
interest in its existence and perhaps bring forth people interested in its
restoration. In fact, one group has already said that it would help in moving
the building.
With the current Kerrville Main Street Program in progress, there will
be personnel from the Texas Historical Commission coming here periodically
who could assist with this restoration program and we feel that there are
many retirees in this area with available expertise who would be willing to
help as well.
{r'e are here today to request your consideration of the acceptance of this
building that meant so much to the early settlers of Kerrville and also to
discover possible sites on which it might be permanently placed so that
future generations may be benefited.
Sincerely,
ORDER NO. 22977
