Using field stone gathered from the
banks of the old Guadalupe river, Mrs.
John Leckie, prominent club woman,
has just completed one of the most
palatial dwellings in San Antonios
hill country on the Turtle creek road
near Kerrville. Architect Richard
Wander Stratten of San Antonio pre-
sents a design which is free of the
usual balanced features and formal
arrangements and offers an entire ex-
terror in keeping with the rugged nat
ural surroundings. 1t is an example
of the wonderful homes that can be
built near San Antonio with natural
material. The stone was gathered
from the homesite which extends over
an area of 100 acres.
Stone in the walls vary in sizes
from large to fairly small and have
been grouped in wall spaces so as to
overcome plainness. Large stones are
used at the bottom of the walls and
the small at the top of the parapet
walls. Down spouts for water from
the roof have been carved from nat
ural stone. Describing the dwelling,
Mr.. Wander Stratten says:

of 100 feet above the city of Kerr
