Conveyance of the Collins home

I stepped out after my last appointment and crossed state line this evening for the transfer of ownership of one of the charming architectural beauties here in town: the Ben & Jane Collins home. Flanked by a couple of old oaks, I've always thought it epitomized what Texas architecture should be.

The Wadley Foundation deeded the property in a ceremony to the Texarkana Volunteer Center. Several groups use the home for receptions, etc., and it's used annually for our Komen race (more pics) down here.
