Jake Silbernagel

Event

To the best of the present homeowner’s knowledge, this house was built around 1923 – 1926 and is typical of the small houses built during this time with a front porch to sit and catch the breeze while visiting with neighbors or sipping a glass of cold tea in the hot summers.  It was built by the Jake Silbernagel family and owned by Ms. Estella Silbernagel.  Mr. Silbernagel was very active in the community, served as President of the Dickinson Independent School Board and was well known.  Silbernagel Elementary School is named in his honor.
