BEAUMONT REAL ESTATE BOARD, INC.,
303 San Jacinto. Building,
Beaumont, Texas.
August 20, 1946.
Mr. G. H. Petkovsek,
Director of Utilities,
City of Beaumont,
Beaumont, Texas.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with instructions in your letter of
August 10, 1946, we have appraised the property therein described.
After due consideration of the report of our Ap-
praisal Committee it is the opinion of Beaumont Real Estate Board
that the figure opposite each of the properties herein is the value
of said property as of this date. The valuation estimate is: viz:
1. Caswell Trust Property - consisting of approximately 94.55 acres,
outlined on sketch attached. This tract for purposes of this
Appraisal we have divided into two tracts, as follows:
(a) All that portion .situated North of Buford Street comprising
approximately 21.6 acres, -and all that portion of the land
situated South of Buford Street and comprising approximately
71.35 acres after deducting 1.6 acres taken up by the exten-
sion of Buford Street through the property. The 21.6 acres
North of. Buford Street has a frontage of about 970 feet on
the Neches River, and is bounded on the East by a shell road
or street between .this property and property of the Magnolia
Petroleum Company;` on the South by Buford Street, and. on the
West by property owned by The Texas Company and Contineintal
Oil Company:' The K. C. S. RR has a spur running through, the
Southwestern portion of this tract, which would serve any
industries located on this tract. The North 60 to 80 feet
of this tract slopes to the waters s edge, but balance of
same is a high bluff, well above high water mark, and a grav-
ity loading incline into the hold of ships could be used to
good advantage. In our opinion this 21.6 is worth $5000:00
- per acre or $1089000.00
(b) The tract South of Buford Street, which contains approximately
71.35 acres, in our opinion has a velue beginning on Buford
_ Stree_t _o f about_ _ _62, 000_.00 per , acre, which value dimini she s to-
ward the South to about X1,00.00 per ecre where it abuts s
negro settlement, and our appraisal is an average vs.luation
of $1500.00 per acre, or $'107,025.00 -
TOTAL VALUATION OF THIS CASWELL TRACT (a) and (b) -
----TWO HUNDRED FIFTEEN THOUSAND TWLNTY FIVE& NO/100 (0215, 025.00) DOLLAR'
There are a number of warehouses situated on the tract South of Buford
Street which we understand are owned by the Federal Government, and
these improvements are not included in our appraisal.
For the City of Beaumont to realize the values we hsve placed on this
Caswell Travt, care should be exercised in subdividing, so that the
road frontage and river frontage would be apportioned to the different
subdivisions offered for sale and each such subdivision receive its
fair proportion of street or river fronte.ge; due consideration also .be-
ing given to railroad facilities.
Page 1 -
2. East Beaumont Townsite Company, Orange County, Texas, consisting
of 250 acres outlined in sketch attached. This property is
bounded on the North by the K.C.S. RR, on the South and West by
the Neches River, and on the East by property of the East Beau-
mont Townsite Company. The portion of this property comprising
about 60 to 80 acres on the West side next to the Neches River
has been filled in to an average depth of about 13 feet, and some..
filling in has been done East of this last mentioned area. All
of the land not so filled in is subject to over -flow whenever
there is a rise iri the river. This property has suffered in
value because of its inaccessibility. Our appraisal is $200,000.00 -
TOTAL VALUATION ITEMS 1 AND 2 ABOVE:
---FOUR HUNDRED FIFTEEN THOUSAND TWENTY FIVE & N0/100 ($415,025. 00) DOLLAR,' -
The property appraised herein have not, in our opinion, materially
increased in value since purchased by the City, for the reason that
there are now many more miles of paved roads and truck lines bringing
into competition industrial sites located outside the City, which are
available at considerably less prices than the City can afford to take
for its industrial sites; in other words, for the reasons above stated,
a decentralization of industrial sites is taking place in Beaumont as
in every other large City in the Nation.

Mr. G. H. Petkovsek,
Director of Utilities,
City of Beaumont,
Beaumont, Texas.
Dear Sir:
33
In accordance with instructions in your letter of August 10,
1946, we have appraised the property therein described.
After due consideration of the report of our Appraisal Com-
mittee it is. the opinion of Beaumont Reel Estate Board thet the figure
opposite each of the properties herein the the value of the said prop-
erty as of this date. The valuation estimate is: viz:
1. All that property purchased from the .Yount -Lee Oil Company by
the City of Beaumont on June 25, 1931, ghown on the attached
sketch. The property has a frontage of 1115 feet on the Neches
River, and also fronts on Cypress Street and Hickory Street,
as shown on the attached sketch. There are switching facilities
on the property owned by the T. & N.O. R.R. Company, and this
property derives its chief value frcm its proximity to the main
district of Beaumont, and its 1115 feet of water front. This
river frontage being the source of greater value, we appraise it
at $200.00 per front foot, or total valuation of $223,000.00 -
There are two warehouses on this property, steel f.ra.me concrete,
1001 x 2001 which are not included in this apprGisa.l.
2. All that property situated at the corner of Gilbert and Main Street
and extending ecstward.ly to the Neches River, which ways conveyed
to the City of Beaumont by the htlantic Rice blills Company,
May 25, 1931, and which is shown in detail on the attached sketch.
There is e large two-story brick building on the western portion
of this property facing 1501 on Mein Street, end extending east-
wardly along the South line of Gilbert Street 200 feet, there be-
ing 30,000 sq. ft. of floor space on the first floor, and a like
amount of space on the second floor, or a total of 60,000 square
feet. This building is over 40 years old, end in our opinion
about 75%' of its usefulness has been used up. To duplica to this
building under present conditions, it would cost about ,$6.00 per
sq. ft. or $360,000.00 - 25% o'f this replacement value would be
our appraisal on the building, or e,90,000.00 -
The land consists of five lots 601 x 1401 facing Main Street,
three lots on Gilbert Street same dimention, and a portion of
Market Street, which has been closed, fronting 40? on Gilbert
Street; and comprising all of the property situated Vvest of the
T. &N. 0 . R.R. which we appraise at $40,000-00; and a tract of
approximately two acres fronting about 200 feet on the Neches
River situated East of the roil.road spur on which our appraisal is
$20.000.00 --Total valuation for the land and building is
$150,000.00 -
TOTAL VI.LUATION ITEMS 1 AND 2 kBOVE:
---THREE-HUNDRED SEVENTY THREE THOUSAND AND NO/100 ($373,000.00) DOLLARS
The various pieces of property above appraised have not, in our
Page 1 -
opinion materially increased in value since purchased by the City, for
the reason that there are now many more miles of paved,roads and truck
lines bringing into competition industrial sites located outside the
City, which are available at considerably less prices than the City
can afford to take for its industrial sites; in other words, for the
reasons above stated, a decentralization of industrial sites is taking
place in Beaumont as in every other large City in the Nation.
