Robbins bought the lot in 1891 for $1,500. He bought an adjoining lot a year later. Construction began in Oct., 1900 and it was completed in early March, 1901. Robbins served as superintendent of the Mexican Central Railway for two years. He returned to the U.S. and attended law school. Following graduation, he moved to Florida and was admitted to the Bar in 1886.
