After his time in the British foreign service, George Stooks Chabot settled in San Antonio, where he became one of the city’s leading cotton merchants.
Chabot’s son, George Alexander Chabot, followed him into the business world, becoming a crockery merchant. And after wedding his wife Lucile, the son even moved into a King William home right across the street from dear old dad.
The younger Chabot’s two-story, 3,000-square-foot Queen Anne recently was recently listed for $2.3 million, and the 1885 property is chock full of intricate woodwork and breathtaking architectural details.
The dwdelling’s most distinctive exterior feature is a hexagonal porch that overlooks the neighborhood. Beyond that, it features a combination of a masonry ground floor and s second covered in staggered square shingles that create a distinctive pattern.
Though the kitchen has been updated, the three-bedroom, two-bath home’s interior features an abundance of its original features. Along with long-leaf pine floors, custom millwork and lots of paneling, the structure includes an elaborate stick-and-ball arch that frames one of its living areas.
The formal dining room includes a dramatic coffered ceiling, wainscoting and fireplace decorated by distinctive tiles featuring Greco-Roman figures.
