Clement-Nagel House
701 E. Morgan, Cuero, TXThis residence was originally constructed in Indianola but was dismantled and rebuilt in Cuero in 1886-87 by Peter W. Clement. He owned it until 1912 when Henry Nagel became the owner. He operated the J.R. Nagel Hardware Store which was one of Cuero's first and most important business establishments. The store operated out of the building at 113-15 E. Main Street. Henry Nagel owned the house through the 1930s. Despite alterations, this is one of Cuero's most unusual 19th-century houses. Its porch supports w/ molded caps and the slightly pedimented window surrounds are typical of Greek Revival architecture.
