National Historic Overlay Dedication





Yesterday, I attended a dedication for the first National Historic Overlay in the city of Tyler. It's a small 2-3 block section near the Charnwood, Brick Street, and Azalea Districts which includes our house and 14 other residences, the Presbyterian Church behind us, and the Fitzgerald House and the Woman's Building. Basically, it means that when our grandchildren come back to visit this area with their grandchildren, they can say, "It looked just like this when we were young." If you look at this news broadcast, I'm sitting listening to the mayor speak. It was followed by a reception in Don and Bonny Edmund's house. They are the nice folks who let Susan photograph in the lovely area behind their home.
