Life Is Full Of Pictures

The Nutt House

"Built of hand-hewn stone in 1893 by David Lee Nutt, the Nutt House occupies the old site of a mercantile store constructed on logs. It was here that two of the Nutt brothers, Jake and Jesse, both of whom were blind from early childhood, began operating their general store in 1866. David Lee was the younger brother of Jake and Jesse and served as their "eyes" in the mercantile store from the time he was 12.

In 1879 David Lee Nutt and his wife built a house that doubled as a hotel since the suppliers of Nutt's merchandise had no other place to spend the night when visiting Granbury on business." cited from the hotel website.

Just a few "nuts" walking across the street in front of the Nutt House. ;-)

It is really my wife and our two friends.
