The Reinauer House, circa 1907

This property was part of an early Spanish land grant, and in 1907 this particular lot was bought by John L. Farque who had the house constructed for his new bride.

In 1923, he sold the property to Charles Schrubbe. The Schrubbe heirs sold the house to Henrietta Clarke in 1958. Sue and Jack Watson bought the property in 1969 and the current owners, the Reinauers, in 1971.

The property was mostly unoccupied from 1957 until the Reinauers bought it with the intention of using it as their family home.

The house is a type referred to as a “raised-center hall cottage” and it was constructed of long-leaf yellow pine and cypress.
