The Butler Building

Hey Everyone!

As promised, here is our first special edition post! We've decided to dedicate it to the building we call home. After being built in 1909, the Butler Building served as the first bank of League City, the post office, a cafe, a hardware store, a drug store, and also had living quarters upstairs.  As some of you may know, there were a few business on the same property in the earlier years. We shared this beautiful building with Dr. Hirsch, a psychologist, and David Hoffman, an architect. We've decided to write a blog about this because after 12 years, Nancy, Ronnie, and Janice have finally purchased all of the property! In honor to this amazing success, we've decided to show off some amazing pictures of the building and the business. Take a look!

This was Nancy and Janice's vision of Butler's Courtyard before the construction began.

We really want to send a huge "thank you" to all of our Brides and Grooms throughout the years. Y'all are the reason why we have made it this far! We've grown more than we ever thought and hope to continue to grow for our Brides and Grooms!

Have a wonderful week!
