City National Bank of Eastland: Exchange National Bank, Drug Store, Oil Company, and County Annex
As noted in the update to the earlier post about the one-story building on the corner, it was identified as a bank in the 1911 Sanborn maps for Eastland County. When the City National Bank built the new five-story building … Continue reading
Monday Morning Musings: 3 months and 79 years ago
I have never made a trip to Young County without going by Grandma’s house and when she was still living in it–to go see her. In the first years after they could no longer live alone, I could still drive … Continue reading
The bank on the corner turned grocery store and the hardware store turned Bear Creek Taphouse
I love old architecture, and even more, the stories those buildings hold. I can spend way too much time trying to locate details of a building’s history. Eastland’s 1911 and 1920 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps provided clues to these two … Continue reading

Another “what had happened was” day
In the never ending and primarily pointless effort to keep the kudzu at bay in the spring, I had clipped all the ever-encroaching vines away from the fence on the driveway side of the house. They particularly like to snake … Continue reading
