Notes
  • Significance: El Globo Chiquito (Laiseca Store) is an excellent example of a modest, late nineteenth-century wood frame store. Built ca. 1887, the store's simple but rare twin-gabled form is relieved by shuttered doors running around the street façades of this corner building and by barge boards along the gables. This was the first of several locations of El Globo stores run by the Garza brothers, two Mexican citizens who lived in Brownsville. The Laiseca family has operated a store there since 1921.
