Homeowners Linda and Rob Gray loved the wood-plank walls, painted rooms, and rough-hewn floors of their inherited 1888 central Texas house.
Linda's German immigrant ancestors had settled in the rolling hills west of Houston because it reminded them of their homeland. To capture every breeze during the hot summer months, her great-grandfather built what locals call a "dogrun" house. All rooms opened to a wide center hallway. When the front and back doors were opened, breezes circulated, creating the closest thing to air-conditioning in 19th-century Texas. For further shelter from the heat, he added a wide, south-facing porch.
