5	6		WHEREAS, In 2015, King Ranch, Inc., celebrates the 100th
6	7		anniversary of its Main House, the ancestral home of the King Ranch
7	8		family; and
8	9		WHEREAS, In 1854, Henrietta Chamberlain King came to King
9	10		Ranch as the young bride of Captain Richard King, and she
10	11		established their home in a simple adobe structure on the banks of
11	12		Santa Gertrudis Creek; and
12	13		WHEREAS, That original dwelling was later replaced by a frame
13	14		cottage, and then by a two-story, Southern-style plantation home,
14	15		which burned to the ground in 1912; three years later, in 1915,
15	16		Mrs. King, who had been widowed in 1885, her daughter Alice, and
16	17		Alice's husband, Robert Justus Kleberg Sr., finished building the
17	18		Spanish-style Main House of the present day; and
18	19		WHEREAS, The new home, which has also served as the ranch
19	20		headquarters, was designed by Adams & Adams of San Antonio with the
20	21		interior being designed by Tiffany Studios of New York; while the
21	22		37,000-square-foot, 27-room structure is grand, dominating the
22	23		surrounding landscape, the building was thoughtfully designed to
23	24		accommodate the family, cowboys, and travelers alike; and
24	25		WHEREAS, In 1961, the United States Department of the
25	26		Interior listed King Ranch and the King Ranch Main House in the
26	27		National Register of Historic Places; the cultural significance of
27	28		the Main House was further acknowledged in 1980, when it received an
28	29		Official Texas Historical Marker from the Texas Historical
29	30		Commission; and
30	31		WHEREAS, Seven generations of the King Ranch family have
31	32		called the Main House home, and it has welcomed a host of
32	33		distinguished guests, among them prominent citizens and heads of
33	34		state; today, it remains a gathering place for the family, as well
34	35		as a monument to the memories of Captain Richard King and Henrietta
35	36		King; and
36	37		WHEREAS, An iconic structure, the King Ranch Main House is an
37	38		enduring reminder of the rich ranching heritage of the Lone Star
38	39		State, and it is indeed fitting to acknowledge its role in Texas
39	40		history at this time; now, therefore, be it
40	41		RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas
41	42		hereby commemorate the centennial of the King Ranch Main House and
42	43		extend sincere best wishes for the future to the King Ranch family
43	44		and to all the employees of King Ranch, Inc.; and, be it further
44	45		RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
45	46		prepared for King Ranch, Inc., as an expression of high regard by
46	47		the Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
