"Fannie Wayland purchased this site at Lavaca and Fifteenth streets from real estate agent Eugene Bartholomew in 1881. Her husband, John, added the three towers to the building, which had been built as a house, and turned it into a grocery, grain, and provisions store. The structure was used for the Capitol Oyster Bar in the 1970s and 1980s and is now the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association building. Photograph courtesy of Texas Osteopathic Medical Association."
