La Borde House in Rio Grande City
Photographer: Michael Amador

La Borde House

It was completed in 1899 as a home and border store by a French merchant-riverboat trader and later converted to a hotel until the 1930s. Designed by Parisian architects, the building combines European, Creole and Texas border styles with shady verandahs, courtyard and a patio. Nine rooms and parlor are restored and furnished in turn-of-the-century decor. 601 E. Main St. (U.S. 83). 956/487-5101. www.labordehouse.com.
