Painting completed in: 1976

After many years of admiring Victorian Architecture; we have realized a dream which has previously seemed impossible; we live in our own Victorian Home. Our home at 3913 Ave. C in Austin was built in 1894 and was the family residence of Louis Marcuse, an early Austin merchant, for several generations. After being used as a rent house for several years it had been allowed to deteriorate and was about to be demolished when we found it. After many months of hard work and struggle we have restored it to almost original condition. This year has been a year of extremes for us; a year of greater toil and a year of greater joy and fulfillment. For this season and for the rest of your life we wish you unlimited happiness.
