Los Nogales, Adobe house in Seguin, United States
Los Nogales is a single-story adobe house built in 1849 in Seguin, Texas, with hand-made, sun-dried adobe walls and a cypress shingle roof. Its interior holds a pioneer-style kitchen and a sod-hewn cellar. It is the last remaining adobe-constructed home in the city.
The house was built in 1849 for Justus Gombert and changed hands multiple times over the following decades. These transfers reflect the shifting population of the settlement era.
The building represents pioneer heritage and shows how early settlers lived in this region. Visitors can still see how simple materials and practical design reflected the harsh conditions of frontier life.
The building sits at the intersection of South River and East Live Oak Streets and now operates as a museum displaying local historical objects. Visitors should know that access may be limited and it helps to check opening hours in advance.
The first Seguin Post Office stood on this same property, and Senator Juan Seguin helped establish the mail route that served it. Because of that link the building was earlier called the "Juan Seguin Post Office"; the mail was handled from an old tree-house, which earned it the name tree-top mail office.
