Driving from Texarkana back to Paris last week, I noticed each evening there was active restoration work going on at the "Blue House" we called it. It is the two story house with a the trim work on it just west of the Catholic Church on East Main about 4 block east of the square. Week before last I only notice a light on upstairs then it was daylight savings time and I could see evidence of working on the roof and Friday the front doors were even open and light on the inside. I have also notice on west Main a nice sign "The McCullough House" on the front lawn. It is good to see attention being given to the old houses in Clarksville.

This is always great to hear about. Restoring the old unique houses is a step towards getting people moving into the town. This started happening in Hillsboro years ago. It really helped get some people to move in around the city. More and more people are buying older houses and restoring them. Fort Worth is seeing this alot also.
