'''Cordova''' was the name of the '''Baars family home''' built by [[Henry Baars|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}}.
