Building is still there on Univ. Of Texas property. Naturally the majority of folks around know nothing of this. As is true with most of the history around here.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
