Built in 1885, the Moody-Wheeler Building is listed as a Contributing Building ("CBD #6 / Property #11") in the original Brenham Downtown Historic District NRHP nomination form -- see:
downloadable PDF document from the Texas Historical Commission's Atlas website, Page 9 of 84. (note: the NRHP recorded its historical name as "Home Confectionary", although it should have more aptly been called the "Greek-American Candy Kitchen")
Per the
Downtown Brenham Historic District Walking Tour PDF pamphlet (tour stop #11):
"Historically known as the Greek-American Candy Kitchen, this building won the Texas Downtown Association’s Best Rehabilitation Project in 2001. It was built during prosperous times, but multiple remodeling efforts left the building looking forlorn for years. The present owner restored this treasure to its original design. It is Victorian style with brick relief work punctuating the decorative details. An ornate, pressed metal cornice crowns the building with multiple brackets and a dated pediment over the entrance."
