JAMES MARTIN ALLRED AND 1ST WIFE CHRISTIANA GUSTAVE ANDERSON (From our archives)
There is so much more I could tell you about this house. One brief story. When I was a boy in the late 50's, the west wall of adobes started to collapse. Dad wanted to shore up the wall and pour concrete as a foundation, at least in the damaged section. Our job as boys was to crawl under the house and excavate the space under the crumbling adobes so the concrete foundation could be poured. Up until that time the only foundation to the home was logs placed on rocks. I have no idea why my dad decided to send his boys on such a dangerous job.
I do regret tearing down the old house. We should have built the new house across the creek.
