Fun fact: The Page House was used as a training center for Polo in the 1930’s. You can see the house from I-35 near Leander Road. Built in 1903 by JM Page, it is now used as a center for weddings and other events.

Matchbook no. 2 for my passion project, . Each week I will post a new matchbook design for a historic, nearly-forgotten business from Georgetown’s past.

Belford Lumber Co. was around from the late 1800s until the 1960’s, and built many of the historic homes in Georgetown, Texas. When Mr. Belford built something, he didn’t go home for the day until everything was plumb level.
