E R Nash Sr Residence, Waco, Texas

This house was built by E. R. Nash, Sr and was the residence of the family family for many years.  It sat across the street from old Sanger Elementary until the school building was destroyed by an arsonist’s fire in October, 2008.  Here is a Youtube link to the school, which several in the family attended.
