Winchester TX was first settled in 1827 as one of the first settlements in Fayette County. It is on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Building was constructed in 1913 by C.H. Schmidt, who came from Germany in 1890. The ownership of the building has changed hands many times and is now owned by Richard Orona and Georgianna Fox since Jan 2005. It has been left in much of the original condition and is a great place to get a steak.
