Mohair production from Angora goats is THE industry in Rocksprings and Edwards county, so it is appropriate that the headquarters of the American Angora Goat Breeders' Association should be here.
This cute building is located on West Austin street, one block west of the courthouse in downtown Rocksprings TX.
Note that as of 2015, the Angora Breeder's HQ has moved into the Edwards County Courthouse, though presumably the historic marker will remain attached to this building.
