(Seguin) — A building that has been a home, a bed-and-breakfast, and a fixture in downtown Seguin more than 120 years was seriously damaged by fire Friday.
The Mosheim Mansion, also known as the Olivia Masion, located in the 400 block of North Austin Street, near the Texas Theatre caught fire early Friday afternoon.
The mansion, over the years, has served as a bed and breakfast and as a private residence.
Historical records suggest that the mansion is one of the first homes in Seguin to have electricity and indoor plumbing.
It’s not clear what caused the fire, but fire officials are investigating the possibility of a lightning strike.
