Mrs. Brat grew up in her grandpa’s house in Taylor 1949-63.
It has the big upstairs sleeping porch in front, and a smaller one in back.
Everybody in three generations of her family slept out on those screened in porches 95% of the time.
After we married in 1967, I slept out on the front one several times when we visited. It was an ok experience except for the noise from the train yard a quarter mile away in the early morning hours when trains were being assembled.
Her grandpa, a prominent builder, built that big house in 1910.
“Coulda, shoulda” - In 1958 while still in the Army my Dad passed up a chance to buy a 400 acre ranch @ $100/acre with a half mile of water frontage on the north shore of Lake Travis.
Dad passed on it because he would’ve had to sell the family farm in Missouri to swing the deal for cash.
Understandably, he was sentimental about that old place even though it was rented out. My brother owns it now - it is quite a money pit.
No telling what the lake property is worth today, but Dad would’ve undoubtedly sold it piecemeal over the years to developers.
When Dell did its IP in 1988 @ $8.50 a share I was on the verge of buying 1,000 shares.
But my brother (UT BBA ‘61) advised me to skip it, as he thought it would turn out to be a fly by night flop.
