Falcon (Ramireño de Abajo) ranch, Zapata County, Texas
Revilla 15 grant, Zapata County, Texas
c. 1781

Demolished,(inundated by Falcon Reservoir). Stone, 33' x 17'7", one-story, single-room structure with walls 2 1/2' thick, nearly flat roof drained through six "gargolas" of mesquite which penetrated the high parapet. Except for front and rear doors of cypress, the only openings were small gun ports indicating that this was essentially a fortification.
