JAMESON, J. W.
The Weekly Democrat, July 3, 1913
A BEAUTIFUL RURAL HOME OF A COLLIN COUNTY FARMER
Here is a picture of the handsome and typically Southern rural home of J. W. Jameson, two miles north of Royse City, on the road leading from the latter place to Josephine. Built in 1911, and cost, including a water system and lightning rods, $2000. On the first floor are located the pantry, kitchen, summer and winter dining rooms, sitting room, parlor, hall and reception room, on the second floor there are three bedrooms, bath room, lavatory and three closets. For lack of space we can not go into details further than to say that in every room are furniture, carpets, rugs and art squares suited to the purpose for which it is intended and entirely different from the others. The parlor set and other furnishings are beautiful in design, best of materials and rich in color. The foundation of this pretty country residence rests on concrete blocks six feet under the ground extending two feet above the surface re-inforced with steel, the sills anchored to the blocks by means of large iron bolts running almost the entire length of each block and placed there before the mass had become “set.” One hundred and ten acres of land furnished the products from which the money was secured to build this residence, and no home in Collin county is more amply provided with fruits, shrubbery and flowers. The whole presents a scene of Edenic beauty.
