A recorded Texas Historic Landmark, Cobb’s Market, located in Calvert’s Historic Business District, is an opportunity to own a building on a distinguished and destination Main Street. Built in 1868, the meat market was remodeled into a Victorian building of handmade bricks in 1878 by Mrs. Ella Oscar. The original walk-in meat locker/cooler remains intact and is a major feature to the building’s interior.
