Fame in Floresville!

There is a house on the 7^th Street in Floresville that has a story beyond belief to a small quiet town. A couple of years back, several years actually, this particular house was involved in a theatrical production. It was a small film, but the whole town knows about this house because of that insignificant film and we, “Floresville natives,” are flattered. It gives us great pride to be chosen by any production company to have even the minutest scene in the place that most of us were born. However, the point is not how the town feels, but just how extraordinary this house is.

The house sits on a bed of thick green grass. It is right off the side of the road and a couple of blocks down from the courthouse. It stands three stories high but not as wide as you would imagine. It is an average house in that respect and does not take the space of six lots. Only one lot surrounded with tall trees on both sides. You could imagine a old plantation house in the middle of a neighborhood just without the size and strength. The color of the home is white or it should be white, but time as left dirt and damage to make the home appear less grand. No matter. The magnificent beauty still shines threw. The entrance of the house is a strong black door. A cement path leads from the road to the door and there is a front porch with a classic scene of a rocking chair and door mat that yells “Welcome!” to all who visit. It is an ancient house with a lovely yard and a lovely scene. It is a private home so the interior has not been publically displayed but there is no doubt of the attractive possibilities.

If you ever take a drive south of San Antonio, go thirty miles down Highway 181to Floresville. Drive down 7^th Street until the street intersects with F Street and the next corner is the home. It is a charming experience.
