Summary
| Description |
English: The Leshikar House in Smithville, Texas, United States was built in 1900. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2018. Marker text: "This historic house was built for B.T. Smith in 1900 by Virgil Sullivan Rabb Jr. (1870-1943), one of the premier builders in the area. The home was designed in the folk Victorian architectural style which features decorative detailing on the structure's eaves, brackets and crowns. Born in Austin County to Czech immigrants, Joseph Charles "JC” Leshikar (1870-1938) married Frantiska "Fannie” Langer (1874-1962) in 1893. Leshikar purchased his first business, the Place Saloon, in Smithville in 1894 when he was 24 years old. He expanded his business here to include land, oil and gas, and became director of the First State Bank of Smithville. The Leshikars raised their family in this home from 1903 to 1976 and are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery." |
