The Stillman Ranch House, first transported to El Cueto's parking lot from Nueces County at a cost of $25,000, then hastily moved to Parallel Park for another $14,000 when Juliet Garcia needed a parking lot, is now nearly unrecognizable. Concrete foundation footings, roof repairs, a new wing or two, give the building a totally different look then the one John Shergold complained about last year as an eyesore and safety hazard.
One can almost imagine Larry Lof, or some other history buff, guiding a tour of the building, weaving the story of the ranch house into South Texas and national history. Whether the story of forced sex on Hispanic servants fearing deportation will be included in the story will depend on the perspective of the guide.

Way to go Shergold!
ReplyDeleteThe Stillman Quilombo is of great historical significance. It represents, in a clear, concise and colloquial image, what South Texas is all about. The White Man screwing the Mexican. If only its walls could bring us back to the wild audio of predatory sex.
ReplyDeletenone of this restoration had anything to do with Shergold. We have Sandy Stillman to thank. He has personally funded the entire restoration on his own. Much props to Larry Lof as well for heading up the restoration. This is months away from being a major asset and attraction for the City.
ReplyDeleteIt was a joke Larry.
ReplyDeleteThe city is going to make this "shack" to be something it never was. The Stillman legacy is flawed and this "shack" is not what it was historicallyl. We have become "dupps" for the Stillman Klan....even today. This "shack" is not worthy of our funds and is not worthy of any historical vision.
ReplyDeleteThanks John Shergold for what you did to make them spend all that Stillman money after placing the light of day on City hall.
