The Hill Country Sheep and Goat Organization continues its efforts to help restore and preserve the historic Dr. Herbert A Wardlaw residence at 233 West Twohig in San Angelo. The residence was built in 1925 for physician Herbert A. Wardlaw and his family. At the time, adobe was not a common building material for more expensive houses. The adobe bricks were reported to have been made in Fort Stockton. It became the permanent headquarters in 1961 of the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association (our parent organization). The organization was founded in 1915 to promote the interest of the industry and chose San Angelo in recognition of the city's historic role as a major primary sheep and wool market. In 1986, the Survey Committee from the Texas Historical Commission made a survey of San Angelo properties that should be listed due to their historical and/or architectural significance to the city. Our building was the first one on their list and was chosen for its architectural significance. The adobe structure is considered a highly attractive Spanish Renaissance Revival building. In 1988, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places Inventory.
