Wandering Waco 7

I am continuing to visit another of the historic homes in Waco.  Today, I am at the McCulloch House.

From Historic Waco:  The original two room cabin was built by Dr. Josiah H. Caldwell in 1866, as a home for his wife and five children.  In 1870, the house was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Champe Carter McCulloch who expanded the structure to its present size and Greek-Revival style and appearance that we see today. Champ Carter McCulloch was a prominent merchant in town along with serving as the Mayor of Waco for eleven years.  The house remained occupied by McCulloch family members until 1971. Along with many family heirlooms on display that tell the story of the Caldwell and McCulloch Family, the house showcases watercolor paintings painted by English artist Charles H. Cox, a cotton merchant who painted watercolors in Waco between 1890 and 1901.

And we all know I have to go have lunch so today I am driving across town to a place called Dos Mundos Spud Shack. They are knows for the Big Papi Spud and it was a massive loaded baked potato topped with chopped brisket, smoked rib, sausage link, barbecue sauce, butter, cheese, and chives.
