Louise Felix - Quality of work (clip)

Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on October 4, 2022

Louise Felix: I think my grandaddy what they were saying, you would need to ask Peter. I think he built every rock house when he was coming up there, except the one on Merritt Mill Road Road with his sons and things. Down there in front of Lincoln Center that house across the street, the rock house. He built that house, the Smith’s stayed in that one. He built that house.

Kathryn Wall: If you’re looking at a house that your grandaddy built, is there anything you can look at and you just know it’s his?

Louise Felix: Know if he did it? I just look at the work and it looks good, you know? Sometimes me and my friend we just ride around looking at different things and she’ll be talking, “Your grandaddy built all this?” And I said, “That’s right and built brick houses too you know, they did it all.”
