Description
Set between sturdy stone chimneys, our early Texas-Style Farmhouse, with board-and-batten walls, carries useful lessons for today. The roof overhangs 12-foot-deep porches and is steeply pitched for shedding downpours. Doors and floor-length windows allow for cross-ventilation. Smaller "Texas windows" beneath the roof pull cool air into upstairs rooms.
The house is basic in the best sense, with rooms laid out in a simple, straightfoward manner. Many of its details are adapted from historic Texas houses at Round Top.
