H. J. Lutcher and G. B. Moore moved their lumber operations from Pennsylvania and established a headquarters here in 1877. Over the next several decades they built a timber empire with vast holdings in Texas and Louisiana and an extensive network of sawmills, railroads, warehouses, canals, dock facilities, and transport ships. The company erected a mission style headquarters here in 1913. Lutcher and Moore and their successors Dr. E. W. Brown and William H. Stark amassed great wealth and founded many of Orange County's cultural institutions. The company ceased operations in the early 1930s. Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845-1995
