Minor correction: The two people in the photo are William Edward Dietert Sr. (Helen's Brother) and his wife Hetta (Seebee) Dietert (who was also Helen's best friend). William helped build this house with his Father Emil Dietert around 1928 with Clay Tile and concrete. First Emil and Elizabeth Lived there and then Helen Dietert Orr and William (Bill) Orr took it over in later years. Helen lived to be 102 years old in that house.Brady Dietertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185899036941198756.post-2758271546047215282011-08-13T14:08:07.933-05:002011-08-13T14:08:07.933-05:00It seems like there were several nice housed in th...It seems like there were several nice housed in that little block that are now no more.Steven D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09304515496696337235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185899036941198756.post-55813486738827416602011-08-13T13:01:15.120-05:002011-08-13T13:01:15.120-05:00I remember that beautiful home, and I remember the...I remember that beautiful home, and I remember the Orr's. <br /><br />They were what we called, "Good People."<br /><br />I can't believe that someone would tear down a home that has such a classic look to it.<br /><br />I suppose the land was needed for more parking spaces.<br /><br />What a shame. <br /><br />One definition of the word "tear" is:<br /><br />"to pull apart or in pieces by force, especially so as to leave ragged or irregular edges."<br /><br />By destroying that beautiful old home, the owner has left ragged or irregular edges in the history of Kerrville.<br /><br />Change does not always equal progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
