Title:
Cluster of single story houses, with picket fence and windmills
Description:
Unknown house, Central Texas, exterior | Multiple single story houses shown. One in foreground is stone with panel roof, a chimney, and a porch with balustrade and front gate. House at right has a chimney, shingle roof, porch, possibly a patio area with thatched roof, and a small tree in the yard. A windmill stands behind, with the top of another visible in a neighboring area. Another house lies to the left behind a vine-covered guy wire, with vertical siding on gable, an attic hatch, shingle roof, and chimney visible. Part of a shingle roof is visible just behind the two houses on the left. A picket fence stretches back from foreground right. Power lines run overhead. Additional structures to the far right and in the background. | From a series of unique photographic images, which Williams took on his travels through central Texas in the 1920s, showing examples of vernacular architecture. Williams donated the negatives to the UT's School of Architecture in 1961 and they were subsequently transferred to the Alexander Architectural Archives. | Note: location possibly Fredericksburg, Castroville, or San Antonio
