Texas Trivia: During the oil boom days when millionaires were made overnight one tycoon would try to build a house bigger and fancier than the last one. To top this and put an end to it all a man who had just hit a major oil strike was walking in the beach with his contractor discussing what to build. After much debate the man reached into his pocket and retrieved a $20 bill, handed it to the contractor and said, "Hell make it like this one!" In Kema Texas near Galvaston there is a house identical to the White House in Washington D.C. It's back yard overlooks Galveston Bay. This house has ben featured on 60 Minutes TV program twice. It's the only OTHER White House in America. Commonly referred to as the "TEXAS" White House. We do everything bigger n' better n' Texas! Ha Ha!
