Cape owned several cotton gins along the San Marcos River and was instrumental in the organization of San Marcos Utilities and the State Bank & Trust Co. He and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Bales (1870-1941), had 7 children. Outstanding features of the Cape House include its decorative woodwork and the wraparound porch on each story.
