Photographed at Rusk, Texas
Many small towns in East Texas have fortunately preserved the small mosaic tile street name designations along the curbs in their downtown areas and older neighborhoods. Who wouldn't want to live in this beautiful Southern plantation style home on Sycamore Street! Rusk is a quaint little town 50 miles west of where I live. Having a population of approximately 5,000, it is the home to the Texas State Railroad (which still operates a ride on a steam engine through the pine forests of East Texas as well as the longest footbridge in the nation, which was originally constructed in 1861.

The tile is nice but that house is just amazing!
What an amazing home! I do love the tiles announcing the street name too.
what a grand old home!!!
Oh, my goodness! What a house too. It's gorgeous and I love the tile street names. I have always loved the word "sycamore". There's just something about it...it's fun to say or it evokes autumn memories...maybe my cheese is beginning to slip off my cracker. :)
Lovely, lovely home. Looks like it is well maintained and those street names bring back memories of earlier times. And I too like the name Sycamore, it rolls off the tongue easy and my daughter and her famiy live in a town called Sycamore.
I know I would love to live there!
What a gorgeous place! I love that tile too.
Wow, gorgeous. My home town of Quincy Illinois had those same type of street signs made of tiny tiles. I love those.
Nice house!
What an great house - but I esp. love the tiled street name on the curb.
The house is stunning - would love to see the inside - but I agree. The tile street name is very lovely.
Stunning, I agree. I'd love to walk in...
