David Williams

Any of you ever heard of this guy? Apparently he built my great grandparent's house at 3805 McFarlin in University Park. I've never been in the joint but my uncle grew up in the house and has fond memories of the place.

Just curious about the house and David Williams.

I've heard of him; he was O'neil Ford's mentor and sort of the grandfather of Texas Modernism.
