Wharves lined Big Cypress Bayou behind Austin Street. Fronting Austin Street were the warehouses and mercantile establishments that stored the goods brought in from the wharves. This building, with its round arched openings, French doors, fanlight transoms, and cast-iron balcony, is a typical warehouse from the 1850s. Beginning sometime during the 1870s, the building served as a bank. It has recently been converted into a restaurant.
