Austin house in 1940

 Here is our family home when it was first built in 1940. That is my mother on the front porch.
It is now in Central Austin. Back then, that was far north. 

Neighborhood

It is Theme Day once again. (Click here to see what other City Blogs posted for the theme.) I thought that I would put up a photo of this house. It was the first one built in the central Austin neighborhood called Rosedale, the area where I grew up. My dad, two of his brothers and his father drew the plans for it and did the carpenter work. I'm proud of that.

Urban Chicken

Or is that a rooster comb? Lives in Rosedale.

Figures

The one on the left? The statue of Liberty? The right? Jesus or Elvis. In the Rosedale neighborhood near our old house.

Reuse

This gate in Rosedale appears to be made from various pieces of scrap iron.

Purple House

When I posted this on Facebook last month, it elicited a lot of oohs and aahs. The house belongs to Lucinda Hutson and is near our old neighborhood.
