| Rebecca Desoto Swofford in front of her dream house. |
The dream that she dreamed really did come true!
As a little girl, Rebecca DeSoto Swofford dreamed of owning the Kate Turner House at 709 West Main Street in Magnolia. One day many years later she drove by and saw a "For Sale" sign in the yard and the rest is history! The latest chapter in the history of this grand old house in Magnolia that is on the National Register of Historic Places.
I recently sat down with Rebecca on a cold day in January. She told me how she first dreamed the dream and how it finally came to pass. Hear the interview on the very first episode of my podcast, Life in L.A. in the player below.
I enjoyed listening to your first podcast, Steve! Keep it going. It’s a great start to something wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful writer and photographer. You should be very proud of this post. I look forward to seeing more of your work!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I frequently pass by as well from Tennessee to Taylor.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s just wonderful you are doing a podcast and in “retirement” walking out another part of your Calling.
ReplyDeleteI grew up one block from this house. I was always intrigued by the beauty and design of that huge house. M.M.H.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I so enjoyed this podcast! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Cousin, I am retired now and I would love to come sometime and help you paint are with the cabinets, etc.
ReplyDeleteIn the early 1960’s, my husband purchased a King Midget automobile from this house. These early tiny cars were made just after WWII. The owner of the car had purchased it in California and drove it to Magnolia. It must have been a nightmarish experience because he parked the car and vowed never to get in it again. Paul bought the car for about $250.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Steve! Great job as always!
