Early matador ranch structure, Motley County, TX, by Billy Hathorn (Wikimedia)

Thanks for more interesting info! I will have to google on that. That's a lot of land for one ranch. Have you lived in Texas oddio?

At one time, Matador Ranch was one of the bigger ranches in Texas, over 200,000 acres. Quite a "wild west" history.

I can't be objective about that style of house; too many good memories of friends that lived in such. Thanks for the neat pic, Kari.
