Named the Crites Building, this construction is between 1905 and 1910, and was built for C.L. (Lum) Crites, Jr. a dry goods merchant from Tolar, Texas. Lum Crites advertised his business in 1910 in the Granbury News and touted the services of an experienced dress maker and designer. When some old plaster was removed during renovation of the connecting building, it uncovered an old advertising mural which was on the outside wall of the dry good store advertising “Old Virginia Cheroots, 3 for 5 cents.” This sign is visible in the Bull Lion Wine Shop and Italian Market.

Also, the building which is now Bull Lion Ranch Wine Shop and Italian Market, Your Private Collection and the building that houses Christina’s American Table were vacant lots until between 1905 and 1910. The architecture style of these buildings may reflect the Neo-Classical revival rather than the Victorian which was phasing out.
