Happy Bench Monday

Happy Bench Monday..HBM!!

This is the Walter Tips building at 710 N. Congress in Austin, Texas.

Walter came over from Germany at the age of 9 when his father died, around 1852, to live with his oldest sister in New Braunfels, Texas which is south of Austin. He change his last name to Tips, but I couldn't find out why. It was a hardware store when he was alive. Now it a bank
