The image below was scanned from a Polaroid snapshot, taken in 1971. This billboard, on the outskirts
of Waco, Texas, is a half scale replica of the downtown Citizen's National Bank. The replica is about
twenty five feet wide, by twenty feet tall, and the bottom of our replica is about twenty feet above
the ground. Our work is composed of metal lath, channel iron, cement, lime, and sand.

The image below was scanned from a Polaroid snapshot, taken in about 1990. This piece of work was
commissioned by Dr. and Mrs. Growcock for their new family residence in Hill Country Village, Texas.
Top to bottom is about four feet. It is positioned about thirty feet above the ground on the front gable
of this home. This work is composed of metal lath, channel iron, cement, lime, and sand. It was copied
from a three and a half inch drawing, on page XIV, of my copy of Franz Meyer's "Handbook Of Ornament".
It was done on the table, in my shop, and then planted on the gable end at the Growcock Residence,
and remains today, with a natural cement finish.
