They moved the house in 1942

We spotted the old crumbly cedar stumps surrounded by dewberry vines and high grass. They served as foundation for a once modest, yet adequate wood frame home overlooking the pasture below.

Our locksmith was familiar with the place - his cousins lived here. He walked around reliving if only for a moment those times he frequented this place years ago. He shared that the house was sold and moved to Brenham in 1942.

We built a barn on a rise east of the old homesite - thinking someday a home may once again be perched upon the hill.
