Cordova was the name of the Baars family home built by Henry and Mary Ellison Baars in (date needed). The house was located on the eastern shore of Bayou Texar, just south of the current Baars Park.
Mary Ellison intended to develop the surrounding area with vacation homes for wealthy northerners, and the oak trees that form the tree tunnel on 12th Avenue were planted for that purpose. However, the plan was scrapped when economic conditions soured, and the area was eventually developed as the Cordova Park neighborhood.
The home was demolished in (date needed).
