There is so much history and so many historic homes in Castroville it is hard to choose your favorite one. These pictures are of The Tarde Hotel built in 1852 by Victor and Clarissa Tarde, natives of Calais, France. In his book, "A Journey Through Texas" Fredick Law Olmstead wrote of his arrival at Castroville in 1853: Upon the banks of the Medina River stands Castroville, a village containing a colony of Alsatians, who proudly call themselves Germans, but who speak French or a mixture of French and German.
There were many famous clients that stayed at this hotel, Robert E. Lee, Ronald S. MacKenzie, John Bell Hood, Edward Ord and Abner Doubleday were just a few. The currant owner is Jessie Caseres.
