Comanche, Texas

 

This is a project from the later years of my grandfather's career. I found out about this project through Ria Hendrix, who has followed Mike Nichols' historic Fort Worth web site "Hometown by Handlebar". This project is in Comanche, TX and the photos were discovered while helping a friend clean out and repair a house in Comanche. The building is still standing although I have not been able to make a trip to Comanche to do my own photography. This building is one of the approximately 1000 projects that there are no records for that My grandfather said he did in his career. This project was the Clemmons Motor Company that opened for business in Comanche in 1947. The plans are dated 1946. This is a "lucky" find and I very much appreciated Ria passing along what she found at her friend's house.
