So, ya'll (technical Texas term) may know I own a house with a tower on it...since I go on and on about it here.

A pic (because I can muhahahahaha):


A circa 1903(ish) Queen Anne Victorian. We've had it a year this December 1. Lots 'O things going on. New electric. New plumbing (started). Rebuilding an old second kitchen that was an old screened-in-porch that was an old step-off-porch into a new utility room. One of 47 windows rebuilt.

Heat. Air.

It's going...maybe a little slower than I hoped, but it's progressing.

Now...to the title of this post...

Apparently...I am a glutton for punishment.

We just put a contract on a 1880(ish) commercial building right on the historic square. With any luck we'll be closing on it about Dec 1 this year.

It has a tower, ya see. How could I resist?

Old house. Tower. Building. Tower. Seemed to make sense at the time...

Lots more work to do now. We have big plans for this place.

A pic (or couple):




More here.

More after we close!

Congratulations, Daniel!  Keep this up and we'll definitely have to plan a ride to Clarksville for a Victorian/Tower tour and some Italian!   cooldude

That building is really a great find (just like your house!). cooldude  I've seen similar finds here in Central Texas on old "downtown" buildings...always have been intrigued, but never brave enough to follow through. Undecided

Good luck!
